Sorry to take so long getting back to this.  Evolution didn't show this
folder as having any new messages until today?!?

Anyway, last I looked, all these dynamic dns programs were=20
horribly insecure.  Also, Kevin has mentioned this a few
times, and I'm starting to agree with him.  I'm not sure that
people should come to think of TriLUG as their ISP.  Yes,
we have shell and e-mail, but if we keep expanding our services
like this it's likely to get out of hand.  I don't see
this as a good use of our resources (although, I'm open to
being persuaded otherwise...).
