I've actually thought about doing this, but it's somewhat complex.  First,
it would require quite a bit more security for my server, which is a Windows
2000 box sitting next to my bed.  Secondly, it would require a better email
system, which would cost $$$.

This isn't impossible, and may be worth discussing.  Would people be
interested in this if I charged, say, $25 / year for an email account which
forwarded to another email address?
