Well, it was worth the wait. And the frustration which followed. Extended Stay America issued me a publicly accessible static IP for six months. I was able to ssh into teh max0r from quark while I had the tech on the phone. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but I'm using Windows XP as my firewall/NAT/port-forwarding router. I really can explain why, but that doesn't make it any less embarrassing.

Tony, I added teh_max0r to your DNS and restarted bind.

I'm looking at getting sendmail to work either on my Solaris server, or my mac, I haven't decided which yet. And as they have a new release of FreeBSD, I may rebuild that box or, perhaps gentoo and use that instead. At any rate, I'm running out of time now. It's nearly 0100, half my St. Louis raspberry weizen microbrews are gone, and I have an early appointment tomorrow...

Great rejoicing and ringging of bells. I can see that the Lord has smiled upon you. He hath given you a static IP address!

I bet I know why, but yeah, that is embarassing.
