 Does that mean that with only a dynamic IP, I can't send directly?
 Years ago, under RH6.2, my logs show that I sent using:
 `cat SampleMail | sendmail -t -f <my email-adr>`
 So then did sendmail just forward it to my ISP?
 
 From the RFC, which is quiet simple, I recoded my client, when 
 TXAuthorisation became necessary. But I don't know how the 
 bigger-picture of sending directly to a remote pop-server
 works. And I'd like to lean by first communicating between
 my own PC's users: root <-> sndml
 Using: `cat SampleMail2 | sendmail -t -f root`
 with a minimal <SampleMail>
 wrote something in /var/*/spool/*
 
 But how would I do a full cycle:
 Send from root -> sndml - reply-> read reply by root ?
 
 == TIA.
