My ISP is Netreach/Fastnet. Compared to my last ISP, Fishnet, it
appears the Fastnet just forwards my mail from an account that I have
on their server. With Fishnet, everything was on a cobalt raq server
that I administered remotely, mail, ftp and website. Everything was
adminstered using alexion.com. With Fastnet, everything is
administered as something.netreach.net, and alexion.com is just some
forwarded thing.

No, I use POP. Also, I never bothered configuring sendmail, instead
using the stmp server of whatever ISP I am currently connecting with.
