I need to set up my own email domain (I won't have a web site) where I can send and receive mail in a terminal box using Pine or Alpine.  A commercial shell account should do the trick, as long as they support my own domain name.  I'll also need around 5 gigs of space for email spools.  

Any providers I should check out?

Look at Rose Hosting –– I've used them in the past.

I haven't used them in several years, but when I did, they were outstanding.

My eMail is run from my server from Slicehost.com

(Full disclosure, I work for their parent company.)

A fellow Racker?

I have a slice there, too.  Bought a domain and set up mail through Plesk (blah!). I just don't know shit about qmail, and the book confuses the shiznit out of me.

Yep.  I'm a Racker.  I have a 1gb slice that runs Postfix and PostGrey to take in my eMail, remove 99% of the spam, and then forward it on to an Exchange server that is at my house.  The slice also handles my website and that of my brother in law.

Rose looks really good.  Centos5 virtual machine, and I can install Exim for email.  Probably have to figure out SpamAssasin as well.  Still trying to come up with a good domain name.

I worked at Dell for years, then a small IT company downtown, then here.  Rackspace is nowhere NEAR Dell's corporate stiff-neckness.   I see it starting, and I've only been here since Jan 4 of this year.  I see shit going around that makes me think we're focusing too much on marketing and sales than WHAT we're selling.  

We'll see how it goes.  Overall, I love working here.

Rackspace for a long time was like living in a frat house lots of freedom with no adult supervision, but instead of slowly working it in they went full retard.  you with managed or intensive?
