For installing a mail server (postfix) for an organisation, is it necessary to have one Valid IP? or not an issue.
please explain?
You need to have a permanent live IP for your organization if you plan to keep a mail server (also generally known as mailgate) with yourself. In this case your mail server will directly send and receive all the mails for your organization to external domains.
Alternatively you can render services from mail service providers like Yahoo or Rediff. They receive & send all the mails for your organization. In this case your server will SMTP/POP mails of your organization to/from the Yahoo/Rediff server. Here you dont require a permanent live IP address. Also a plus point would be you can avail many advanced features like spam protection and Antivirus check already available with them.
