Not sure what you mean by "mail.information-provider", but I assume that 
would be my web hosting provider.  I get that 
"mail.network-service-provider" would be my ISP.  Trouble is that will 
only work at one location.  I would have to change 
"mail.network-service-provider" every time I am in a new location, no?
