[AccessD] [dba-VB] hosting a website in-house

For small clients I have been redirecting their email to gmail and have it
forwarded to their regular email... Of course there is definitely a volume
limitation. 

But thanks for the info. I will look into it. (I believe it is in the
neighbourhood of $7.00 per year per person but there are volume discounts
and a number of alternative companies also providing that type of service).

Just to throw in my two cents, our company uses Postini, which is a
google owned (I think) spam filter.  Basically, you point your MX record
to Postini, they get your mail, and forward it to your mail server.
That way, all the spam hits them first, and they filter everything for
you.  I don't know how much a single user account costs, but it's worth
looking into.  When I ran my own mail server, it was constantly flooded
with spam.

Hi Stuart:

You are right, if John was talking about an email server... now that is
a
waste of time and resources. I thought the conversation was about
hosting a
website... apologies.

JC included email in his specs.  Running your own email server does
imply
being hit with 
spam.
