Yeah...we'll check the logs anyway, they might tell us something -- or not.

I've never used Yahoo mail, but lots of Yahoo groups.

I do use gmail, primarily because I can reach their incoming *and*
outgoing servers from anywhere and anyhow I can get online --
nowadays the outgoing servers will almost always blow you off unless
you personally are a customer of the ISP you're connected
to.  Unfortunately gmail can't resist adding a header that makes it
unclear whether my address is actually @attglobal.net or @gmail.com,
so the gmail address propagates even though I wish it
wouldn't.  Incoming mail to attglobal.net gets forwarded to gmail.com
and then I fetch it with my regular mail program (Eudora). I only use
the web gmail interface to comb their spam filters for false
positives -- for me they run maybe half a per cent, which is more
than I'm willing to risk.  But generally speaking it all works
extremely well for me, anywhere in the country and whether or not I
can get to a computer for an hour or a month, because they currently
allow about 7 gigs of storage.  They don't stick any cr*p in my
outgoing mail, and since I use their POP server instead of the web
interface I never see an ad.

If you'd like to try gmail, I've got 99 invitations just sitting
there.  Anyone else, for that matter.
