When I was living on campus I had "dman.rh.rit.edu" (rh is Resident
Halls, even though I was in an on-campus apartment). I also had a
nice T3 connection too. Now I am back home with only dial-up. I only
need to get mail out (ssmtp works for that) but I wanted to have local
delivery also (and more importantly, I needed to have a way of testing
my simple smtp client (school project) without tying up the phone all

No, I only have dialup right now.
Thanks for the suggestions though,
