I run mine at Digital Ocean. $5/month for a minimal VM that easily supports Centos 6 with Postfix/SPF/DKIM and Dovecot IMAP. The only possible gotcha is a blacklist-tainted IP address range, which might mean you have to change IPs a few times to get into a clean range. So far that has not been problem. -- Jim Garrison ([email protected]) PGP Keys at http://www.jhmg.net RSA 0x04B73B7F DH 0x70738D88 _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
