This is okay for people with static IPs. For most people, end point
email on their FB is simply not an option because of dynamic IPs,
which may cause email to be delivered to an unknown computer if my
server is down.

Also, sending from dynamic IP addresses is nearly guaranteed to get
one's mail blocked by ISPs or webmail providers.
