Re: send email from local machine?

I tried two different email servers but cannot get either to work. Do we 'need' a static IP? I have a dial up but used the current ip number in the server program. It seems to send but then the log says dns timeout. We put both the computer name and 'localhost' into the email client window to no avail. What am I missing?
