Hi Marc,

We are a small ISP as well.  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..

Good luck,

Jim Craig
