If you're less 50 users, might just want to consider bringing the email in-house. Find a server that can stay up, install BSD and Postfix on it, and you're good to go. If you want windows, go with Windows 2003 server and a copy of Imail.

Don't want the job of handling email? Handyhosting has been relatively trouble free for 3 years now. I've also had good experiences with Linkline at my former job.

Heh, I found that my local ISP Linkline is offering speeds just as good as Speakeasy, same liberal ISP policies (allowing servers, etc) and their tech support kicks butt, for cheaper than Speakeasy. Of course if you're not in SoCal than this doesn't apply.

Never had that problem. My landlords (now and past) have never told me I had to use a particular service. Of course I'm serviced by SBC in SoCal, YMMV.

Btw: I use Linkline for my DSL. No complaints though their DNS server is a tad slow. Since that's my only complaint and they're the fastest DSL I've seen, I'm thinking about just simply remediating that by setting up my own DNS Server. Their usage policies are fairly liberal (no ports blocked and I have a static IP address).

Anyways enough of my shameless plug...

Bill Laimbeer was one of the major Land of the Lost Sleestaks. There's a classic pop culture villain just ripe for videogame inclusion!

You don't say what part of the country you're in, but Linkline offers pretty good DSL packages.

I'm paying $50/month for 768/128, but I get up to 1.5 downstream easily, I've got a static IP address, and I have their blessing to run whatever servers I want. They even set the reverse DNS on my IP address to my own host/domain name. Additional static IP addresses are $5/month each.

Also, they're small enough that if it goes down or something, once you've shown that you know what you're talking about it's fairly easy to get a sysadmin or network engineer on the line. That's so much nicer than dealing with three levels of tech support in a cube farm somewhere.

For people who want to run servers at home, I hear Speakeasy is the best broadband ISP. I have also had no problems running web, ssh, mail and dns servers on my broadband connection from Linkline. Though I don't think the TOS specifically allows this, they haven't blocked any ports or hassled me about it in the two years or so I've had my server up and running.

In all my research, I've found the some very truthful and informative sites about Scientology:

A couple other interesting articles are found here:

Learn the truth about Scientology from more than just OC because Andreas Heldal-Lund (the maintainer of xenu.net) goes a little too far at times without proper proof. He deserves our support, but he's not the only one trying to inform the public about CoS. Read more of what ex members have to say.

To anyone in their service area (I'm not sure exactly how far that area extends), I recommend Linkline. I've got 768/128 DSL with one static IP address for your basic $49/mo, and additional IP addresses are available for $5 each (my telco is GTE, YMMV).

Speed is good, uptime is good, and I'm allowed to run any servers I want. They even set up reverse DNS for my IP addresses for me. I work for a differnet ISP but have stuck with them for these reasons.

It's seriously the funniest thing I've seen since "We hear you! - Your National Security Agency".
