For 3,000 mailboxes I would discount it -- but still, I'd charge a LOT more than $400! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TDE Internet Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 9:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Off topic, Charging for email. * This is the modus mailing list * At 08:20 PM 01/27/2004 -0500, you wrote: >* This is the modus mailing list * > >I will be using a form page for accounts and use sql database for >authentication.

My first thought was that If you have to do the support for all these mailboxes, then $400 is a heck of a bargain to say the least...especially if this includes virus and spam filtering. I realize some of that is discounted to be 'part of the community', but I know how many email and calls we take in reference to email related issues/questions. Even $1 per mailbox would still be a bargain. Yep, they can go get a Hotmail or Yahoo account for free, but see if they get any support or 'real' answers to their questions. I guess part of my feeling on it is based on not so good relationships with non/not for profit groups over the years. They want the services for less, yet typically need the most support. :( That's my 2 cents worth..
