Consumer grade e-mail hosting options?

[Bob Cober]

Just an idea - you could upgrade to cox@work.  I don't think they are doing
any filtering on cox@work.  I saw a promotion on their site for $75/month -
not exactly cheap, but any dedicated host will cost you more than that....

I am pondering upgrading myself because of the filtering....
