Update on lemlists.com
Unless Apple changes their mind, mac.com email addresses are *not* going to be free after Sept. 30. I don't use enough iTools services to justify the $99/year Apple wants. All I use mac.com for is email. Ryan Coleman, of Coleman Web/Internet Services, and I are working on the details for setting up personal email accounts on lemlists.com. Because many of these lists are subsidized by ads, we will be keeping the cost of email addresses to $5 per year -- but we will only be offering lemlists.com addresses to people on one or more of our email lists. Signing up for a lemlists.com email account helps subsidize our cost of managing the server and overseeing the lists, so it very much helps out Low End Mac. The server is up and running, although there are no more details on the website http://lemlists.com/ than in this email. We'll probably set a maximum mailbox size of 5 MB, which is typical, and Ryan does a lot of work to prevent spammers from using the server, something I really appreciate as a one-time IS manager and email administrator (not to mention as someone who gets too much spam daily). If you are interested in singing up and haven't already contacted Ryan, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do not reply to me or to the list. We hope to have things up and running in a few days.

Decided to temporarily unsubscribe... and LEMLists.com
I wanted both lists I am on (g-books and g-list) that I have opted to unsubscribe for a week or so. I have gotten many, many emails in the last 24 hours alone and the lemlists.com project is taken more time than I thought it would and the emails are just getting in the way. Also, if you haven't already sent your email to me about your interest in getting an email on LEMLists.com (re dan's email LEMLists.com) please send to me before 12:00 GMT (that's 8am EDT) Monday. I still need to do the numbers on things in regards to those requests.

lemlists.com
Our monumentally huge project for the summer will be setting up a new domain (I just registered lemlists.com) for our email lists and creating our own software to manage subscriptions, process messages, etc. It's going to be a huge undertaking, and it's going to make things much better for all of us. One idea I've had for funding this is selling email addresses @lemlists.com for $5/year. The bulk of this would go toward running the server and paying for bandwidth, with a small percentage coming back to Low End Mac for administering the lists. We're working with Ryan Coleman of http://coleman-web.net/ to set this up. The goal is to set up a pretty spam resistant server that can be used as a POP3 mail server -- and for Web-based email as well. Best of all, if you're subscribed to any of our lists from a lemlists.com address, you'd never have to worry about AOL, mac.com, etc. going down or bouncing messages from the list, since they'll be on the same machine that handles the lists. We'd like to hear from any of you who might be interested in supporting the LEM lists and having a lemlists.com mailbox for $5.00 per year. This will help us determine the feasibility of the project, how much drive space we'll need, and whether Coleman Web will need to upgrade their Internet connection to allow for more bandwidth. If you're interested, DO NOT reply to the list and DO NOT reply to me. Send an email to Ryan at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject lemlists.com. Whether we go through with mailboxes or not, we will be working with Coleman Web to set up the Low End Mac List Server in coming days. I'm guessing this project may take several months of programming and debugging to get things just right. I'll keep you posted. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. http://cobwebpublishing.com http://lowendmac.com http://digital-views.com http://digigraphica.com http://lowendpc.com http://reformed.net Bill Gates was so impressed by the iMac that they were going to offer the blue-screen-of-death in a choice of colours. ;-) -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
