I was planning on speaking up in a few weeks, but I guess now is as good a
time as any. When Paul and I dedicated a server to nolug.org, I decided to
offer accounts and services to nolug members. Web, mail, DNS, any leet tricks
you need done (like I did this morning for Christopher Jones who needed to
get around a pesky firewall) --- that's what the box was originally put up
for. All active nolug members are hereby offered an account on the server,
subject to sane security policies. $username@nolug.org and
http://nolug/org/~$username can be yours for the asking. This is my way of
helping out those that want a small web presence, but can't, for various
reasons, run their own server on a decent connection.

I am willing to accept mail for your domain as Scott mentioned, but not just
yet. If I can get a spare hour or two, I'll finish getting my mail server the
way I want it (hopefully in the next couple of weeks), and you can then pull
your mail off the server and have it delivered locally.
