Is it possible to run an email server on my home box using dynamic dns?
The scenario is, I want to auto cc all incoming and outgoing emails from my one account to another, from some server side config instead of configuring email clients for rules. I have tried Google Apps Mail but it doesn't allow auto cc of outgoing emails. After having read tons of blogs, forum messages etc (hope I have been reading the correct info 🙂 ) the only option to achieve what I am needing is to setup my own mail server, but the cost of getting a static IP doesn't fit my budget.
Please can someone point me in the correct direction. Platform doesn't matter, I can setup a Windows or Linux server.
Many Thanks

Running an email server on dynamic DNS, while certainly possible, is a bad idea. Here's why: http://www.arschkrebs.de/postfix/postfix_why_dyndns_does_not_work.shtml
If you don't want to get a static IP, then I'd suggest checking into the various email hosting services (google for "email hosting") and see if one of those might fit your needs.
