Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Serving up OpenACS from home

With a little work you can run just about anything from home.  I remember running and UUCP hub with 4 phone lines from my first apartment.

Heh, the backup (never used, but available) for uptime.openacs.org is still behind my DSL line. Of course I did happen to "charm" my way into a class C for my DSL line (after suffering 7 months of deployment testing).

GNU has a GPL'd dynamic DNS server available.  Maybe when OpenACS 4 goes gold we could setup hostname.my.openacs.org with it.  Heh :)

As for setting up qmail (it was mentioned in the starting post) one url:  http://www.lifewithqmail.org.  Absolutely the best documentaion for setting up a mail server I've ever read.  The docs guys might really want to look into that site for a very good example for creating a brain dead installation doc.
