@ Amos & Job: For that to happen, any interested party will have to apply to AfriNIC for a block of public IPs & a public AS number...

@ Steve: I'll politely disagree with you there... I've configured B.G.P. transits where /20s & /21s are being received from ISPs who want their IPs to transit over a partner's network... (Tricky stuff though!)

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?

Regards,
Steve
