hi,
The best solution if to have your own set of public IP's so that you can assign it to the mail server. Also with your own ips you can do BGP with both AK and JTL so that no matter which provider you are using the mails can still reach the server.
Hi Amos, Usually providers won't announce any prefix longer than a /24, which would be an overkill to assign simply because a mail server exists on the network.
Job, you still haven't described your setup in enough detail. Do you use POP3 to fetch the emails from a catch-all mailbox, or is the email delivered via SMTP to your server?
