[Cialug] Email server

[Jim Cole]

I thought about coloing but its too expensive for my blood. I havent found
anything that would work for me.
There are negatives about every place I looked at..low traffic allowances
or bandwidth, peering, remote hands are expensive or just the per U pricing.

Leasing works out better for me.
