I guess the need for ODMR deminishes once you have a public IP on a reliable IP connection. even rollernet.us can help you then. (nice: they are your primary MX record, filter on spam, and store & forward to one IP, all for a minimal fee. We use them as our secondary MX record(s).)
Besides that, when you have some proper bandwith, Cloud based services will be much cheaper and reliable than doing it all yourself. (From a managers perspective, we know its much more fun to do it ourselves.) On the US Westcoast there is even a web-hosting company that does not offer email anymore. They suggest you use google instead. They feel they can not compete with that. That is real extremely outsourcing, i would say. On a yelloline, though, cloud computing is still far away. rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net On Tuesday 19 August 2008 06:51:43 Mark Tinka wrote: > On Tuesday 12 August 2008 23:13:36 Reinier Battenberg wrote: > > well, lets do the mantra again: > > > > If ISPs would start selling 512kbps Local, 32kbps > > international kind of packages, you wouldnt need to > > hassle with local mailservers and just use a hosted > > service.
