I found this out today, too. I was wondering why my email wouldn't send since
Tuesday, and when I realized I hadn't received any in a long time, too, I
checked [lavabit.com].
I'll probably just find another email provider, but at this point it feels
like were all being herded toward companies that cooperate with the
government.
But, I'm interested in running my own services, and email might be the
first/most important one. I have an old computer I could dust off and plug in
for always-on service. My question -- and I'll ask for everyone else, too --
[b]are there any Internet Service Providers that allow you to run your own
server?[/b]
I've heard that many provider policies prohibit running your own webserver,
and they routinely search for and block ports for people who try to run their
own email server. Services in my area include COX, AT&T, and some setellite
dish network.
