[TriLUG] Suggestions for mail hosting.

[J.C. Jones]

Interesting,

Moments ago, I was on the phone to bellsouth/at&t about their dsl 
service and the rep said that no ports were blocked. Maybe I need to 
check this out more carefully. ( actually he said he knew of no ports 
being blocke, but he did say you could run a webserver on the service I 
was asking about -- fastaccess dsl extreme)
