Yes, but the main issue in my mind is reliability. I trust my own local mail server to be up when I need it more than I trust Cox's mail server. If I have to use a 3rd party to re-route my mail I am left having to rely on their uptime. Either way introduces more possibility of failure. Oh well, I can always pay for commercial service! (Yeah, right!)
