Why send a email, when you can go to www.no-ip.com and register yourself a
dynamic dns entry, and thus you can alwaus access your freeBSD box using
marwan.no-ip.com or something similar. After registering you just need to
install a daemon that automatically updates the ddns every now and then. I
use this for the dial up gateway at home so I can check up on now the box
is holding up with in its harsh enviornment (i.e. my brothers) - and it
works great.
