Probably I can explore this further.  Also, you got me wondering if I 
could run more than one port 25 on one machine.  I've tested and 
indeed it seems I can run one port 25 for each IP address.  Typically 
my machine has three IP addresses (localhost 127..., LAN 192..., and 
one assigned dynamically by Sprint/Earthlink), so I can probably use 
this for some mailserver testing.

This machine has only one network interface card, but evidently that 
does not limit this behavior, for reasons I hope to understand someday.

I've checked out both of these co-hosting services.  They do look 
better than the hosting alternative I had discovered before.

Thank you, all.  You've given me a lot to think about.
