ask your ISP to provide you with a DNS entry for your server along with the MX record to point to the current IP address of the machine.<br />
<br />
if they are providing unlimited sub-domains, then you might need to create your own subdomains like<br />
<br />
server.com (you would need a A record and a MX record for this)<br />
pop.server.com<br />
smtp.server.com<br />
mail.server.com <br />
<br />
and any other that you think is required. &nbsp;you can make all the sub-domains point to the same IP or different machines as you please. &nbsp;once that is done then it is time to move to complete testing.<br />
<br />
PS: congrats on the RAID setup!
