I suppose that if you want to run it as the primary mail server for your domain - yes,
you would need a static IP and a DNS record pointing at it. But I've only used
Mercury/32 as a local server on some small networks (5-75 users), downloading via
POP3, handling internal mail and sending out though some ISP's SMTP servers.
More or less what Adrian Fischer needed.

If you need help to manage Mercury/32 and Pegasus Mail, the support lists running
on bama.edu are really helpful and let you browse the list archives. See
<http://bama.ua.edu/archives/index.html>. I can't reach it at the moment but it's
probably my connection.
