Was looking for US based, as I sometimes get sensitive email.  But am
looking into this one.

You are right.  I already have ddclient/dyndns setup with my ACS account
here. (Albeit, I've yet to even make use of it.)

The only thing deterring me from employing this method, what if the
power goes out or the server breaks?  I'm left without a host to cache
email to.  As to the reason for getting a remote host to do this.

But, in the long run, overhead costs are largely cut and ... *I make the
house slightly warmer!* (Fringe benefits ;-)

A good place for the server box would be under the kitchen sink. lol.
