[HECnet] Bringing Email In-House

[Brian Hechinger]

If you want someone else to host your email and don't want it to be google, i'd
be more than happy to host anyone's email.   I promise not to read your email and
stuff.

Really.   :-D

talking a hobbyist solution, its just downright difficult to beat their imap
/ pop3 / web email solution -- especially when blasted SPAM is considered.

If you have trouble with the fact that google aggressively analyzes, stores
and sells your data trends -- you might want to look at `exim` for linux.

I do both.   I run Linux/Postfix and OpenVMS/PMDF.   I can SSH into my Linux
box and then check my mail with (al)pine (like I am doing now) and also
telnet into my Alpha and read the mail with MAIL or PINE that is included
with PMDF.
