I've been pondering paying a couple dollars a month for someone else to handle my email. The advantage is just that I can turn my machine off and that I can have greater reliability (i.e., my ISP's quirks don't affect me as much). I've also been pondering using my ipod touch to read mail when I'm not at home. Sort of like having a personal blackberry, maybe. I dunno if I'll like it or not. A counter argument is that maybe I like not being wired all the time. I dunno. The hitch is that I can't imagine life without procmail between me and my email. For example, I've already received 435 emails today, but only seen a dozen or two. Probably a third were spam and over half were list mail of various sorts. That's the way I want it. I'm curious how others have handled this and what thoughts this arouses from other nerdly folk who like the flexibility of having their own server but contemplate doing other things with their free time than managing a server. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://jeff.purple.com/> phone: UK: +44 (0)784 699 1772 (From U.S.: 011-44-784-699-1772) France: +33 (0)6 21.83.26.20 (From U.S.: 011-33-6-2183-2620) GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
