They don't have an email address you can call, and you have to do everything either by phone or by web, which is a pain. They claim to send things to postmaster@yourdomin, but I've never received a single message from them. On the up side, they're very responsive to problem reports--the best I've had so far. And modulo a few DNS problems the service is pretty good, too. Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
