But, I now have (5) statics and fiber, so I'm going traditional with DNS servers, a mail-server(postfix) and a webserver for virtual hosting.

If you have or can get a fixed IP address and own domain name, check out ispconfig.org (mail, web, dns, ftp) and iredmail.org (mail). You can run either in VirtualBox with 500K ram or on a old laptop. Both run on top of Debian, Ubunto, OpenSuse. I was some years ago annoyed with my mail provider and decided to run IRedMail in VirtualBox. Now it's ISPconfig on an old laptop in VirtualBox to server as Mail, Web and local DNS server.

I just need a simple pop3 (small) email box, in case my (underconstruction) email server is not happy. Low traffic. Temporary is fine too. Suggestions most welcome. Tia, James

They have free email boxes, just for completeness on this thread. Perfect for testing mail clients, MTA and such. Thanks! James

Sure, GMX ain't Gmail, but we're still talking about a multinational megalith here, who's grown through acquisitions in different countries. In any case, if you're dialling in from the US, you'll be connecting to their Kansas datacentre and your data will be pwned before it ever reaches their servers.
