Respected Demon colleague ;) Emmanuel has to know the ins and outs. The
long and the short of it is, that he should contact his ISP,
club-internet.fr if he wishes to use his machine as a mailserver. Quite
another thing is, that the same ISP will almost certainly have blocked
port 25 for him. Whatever happens, the IP number question should get
resolved before anything else.

I don't have my own domain, but I still run my own mailserver, with
incoming mail, and with the blessing of my ISP. Looking at your headers,
I'm not sure how you do things.
