You don't have such a server yet, and apparently you are not prepared to use one. One option you can use: Buy a domain name for your company if you don't already have one, and establish a small web site on an inexpensive shared virtual server (until you're ready to do more than that), taking care to use one that supports SpamAssassin. You can continue using webmail to access your emails, but instead of using Yahoo, Hotmail, Mail.com, etc., you'd be connecting to webmail at yourdomain.com (or perhaps yourdomain.co.uk if that's your preference). You could also use POP3 and/or IMAP to access your emails, if you so choose, and your web/mail host supports them. I support three domains which have done just that -- the domains run on shared virtual hosting machines, and each domain has its own access to SpamAssassin. It works extremely well for us, for under $200/yr (per domain). My host might be suitable for you, and I'll be glad to share contact information off-list if you're interested. The company that hosts the Rules Emporium web site can also provide this service, I believe, and probably with more SpamAssassin support than does my host. Bob Menschel
