Steve,
I imagine because it is not quite that simple for everyone.
As an example, currently the owners of shellworld.net have yet to comply
with host identifier changes that started in March of this year.
For me that means I cannot post to lists at freelist, I am on a few, and
may have mail not reach someone..yet not learn the outcome.
Previously the owners hosted our mail, I agree that such seems most secure
and financially productive..especially if you are charging for the service.
however, apparently? far more regular care goes into hosting mail, then
simply having a place for it..preventing attacks I suspect.
Granted, I am considering this idea, I have domains I already own that are
not tied to a hosting plan.
What concerns me, is the security and consistent access to my mail in a
fashion that, at least in theory, gmail makes possible.
Further thoughts about the details?
..and at gkg.net the domains are less than $15 smiles.

Hello all,
I have set up Alpine with Gmail and I'm able to successfully connect
to the Gmail account and access/send email. The issue is that this
just stops working after a couple of days.
Why gmail? It's notoriously difficult to deal with. Why not just buy a
domain for $15/year and use the mailing address(s) from that domain?
