We do. I'd be curious to know who this product is meant to appeal to. Like SSL certificates, it's likely not something we'd be interested in, but no doubt Tucows has done some research into the marketplace and felt it was viable. Generally speaking, you outsource a service when it's either cheaper than providing the service yourself, or you don't have the in-house resources to provide it. The only businesses that I can think of that fit that bill (and who would be selling email services) are virtual ISP's. Many of them, however, still run their own radius, dns, and mail servers, even if they outsource their dialup ports and customer service. Jim
