in thread (OT) Setting up a mail server

Well I take your point, but we had a designer make us a really cool template, so i'm fairly sure my boss would be upset if I ditched it and went with a plain text email instead :)

It is a good point though, especially when users are downloading emails on portable devices for example, so it would be a good idea to reduce the size of the message considerably, which i'm fairly sure we could. Infact I expect its not that big, I was just using 100k as its an easy size to work out bandwidth requirements with, and to play safe.

    I'd suggest two hosting options for a server

    www.34sp.com - based in Manchester, and are pretty darned good. In fact, one of my old workmates works there, and he's pretty good at what he does! Co-lo there is around 90 pounds per month, but it's pretty good, and you get an excellent plesk control panel. I use them myself - but use the reseller hosting plan, which is good for my needs at 15 pounds per month.

    www.1and1.co.uk - they do a co-lo server from 29.99 per month (with 10Gb of transfer per month).

    Either way, qmail is set up on both, ready to go.

    Hope this helps!
    cheers,
    Luke
