I agree with getting personal mail servers registered, as far as paying 
$100 for a mail server registration (as mentioned in previous 
messages)...that's no good.  As a user with a personal mail server, it 
is bad enough to have pay for connectivity and a domain name.  Having to 
pay for the privilege of running a mail server is too much.
