https://www.linode.com/pricing To just send out mail you don't need much from a hosting company. I've found Linode to be very good and they have services starting at $5 per month that will do what you want. 1G of RAM should be enough for sending mail. https://www.scaleway.com/ Scaleway starts at E2.99 per month and has 2G of RAM. > For domain name (.org.au) - About $48 for 2 years.

Either run your own server or use an external company. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
