Paid? Mail? Its part of YOUR ISP's responsibility to provide a mail server. News servers now, are a different horse entirely, involving a huge expense just for the incoming news bandwidth which can easily exceed 100x all the other traffic an ISP handles. Those I can see as subscription fee models as that bandwidth is not free. But mail servers are part of an ISP's job description, so use them. You have already paid for them when you pay your monthly bill. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
