If you can afford a permanent connection, a spare machine and you have the time to do the maintenance, your best bet is to build your own mail server. qmail (http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html) + omail (http://wm.omnis.ch/omail.pl?action=about) work wonders if the same machine is hosting web and mail service. Once setup you'll forget how they work :) qvb -- pica To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
