Then why not use one of the email addresses provided by your ISP? Or a free account somewhere that allows forwarding?
I also use some home equipment for additional offsite monitoring, which has the added benefit of notifying me exactly when my home ISP goes up and down. Just a thought...seemed a slightly strange request in this day of free email accounts available everywhere. Also curious about your Southeast US request...? However, if the above doesn't work for you contact me off-list and we can arrange something different.

I'd need a place to host it outside my network. That's why I was requesting an IMail account on someone else's domain. I have monitoring inside the building, but it doesn't validate I can actually receive email. I can ping mit.edu successfully until I'm blue in the face, but if someone hijacks the MX record for the e-scapevideo.com domain, I wouldn't know for a few days. Thanks for the input.

Why not just set up a remote monitor to let you know of a problem. There are tons of monitoring programs available. I've been happy with GFI's Network Monitor. Even if you don't want to purchase it, the freeware version will do pings and http.

I am in Georgia, USA. I'm developing an Order Entry website with out-of-Country fulfillment. The process goes like this: Take the order (Web) Authorize the funds (Credit Card processor in Bermuda) Send Email to Canada (please fulfill) Receive Email from Canada (done!) Capture the funds. Rinse and repeat! All the timer driven (web and/or NT Services) components "touch" a database each time they run. So, my System Monitor can page me if any of the LAST_ACTIVITY_DATEs are too stale. However, the "Receive Email from Canada" step isn't on a clock, it's a program alias in IMail. My Request: I'd like someone near the SouthEast to set up an IMail account which does nothing but forward all email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll send a short message (probably containing a body of "ping") once per hour. If my IMail, DNS, the 'net, your IMail, your DNS, and the 'net again, my IMail again and my program alias are all working, my program alias can diddle the database too, and my system monitor can page me if something goes bump! Anyone care to help? I'd expect a solid 'net connection, but 24, 4-byte messages per day shouldn't be much of a load<g>. Thanks in advance. Dan Barker.
