I'm happy for you Tim. Gmail is great for lazy sob's like myself, but
it's not everyone's cup of tea.

On some of the lists that I've subscribed, it seems like one-third or
better of the messages in a given week are on the topic how to install
or tweak or debug [pick a spam filter] for [pick a mailer]. I'm REALLY
HAPPY not to need to worry about that, and the ability to get to my
mail from [almost] any browser anywhere [except for my company which
has the most restrictive internet access policy on the planet] is
quite delightful.

Whatever floats your boat, and thanks for sharing with others who run
their own mailer service.
