Ok, in the same spirit, if anyone sets up an account like Malcolm did at yahoo
or a similar place to support our vanagons, or actually any VW activities, and
needs an email address that they can change or throw away, I will provide
accounts on my server.  These are not meant to be high volume accounts, just a
place for the normal overhead mail, please.

These will not be shell accounts. ;)  I will reserve the right to terminate
anyone that abuses the privilege.  And I do not yet do server level spam
filtering, although I may in the future.

I would suggest that you make arrangements me before you set up the account at
yahoo/wherever so it will be active when they send you confirmation or other
info.

And please, this is not an offer to give everyone on the list a free mail
account, I don't have that lind of bandwidth.
