I went from ADSL plus a hosted domain to cable last year, moving the hosting in-house to, literally, a server in a basement. I use DynDNS for DNS hosting and an incoming mail relay, and relay outgoing mail via my ISP. So far it's worked out really well. At work we went with Postini a couple of years ago, from managing our own cluster of Sendmail+SpamAssassin+ClamAV servers. The constant headaches dealing with massive spam floods, the complicated setup needed to scale for the volume, most problems with black/whitelisting... gone. Outsourcing our incoming mail handling freed up almost an entire admin's time. And it meant we could just shut off ClamAV when they deprecated an old software rev last year by breaking our mail service. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Leon Towns-von Stauber http://www.occam.com/leonvs/ "We have not come to save you, but you will not die in vain!" _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
