Tired of Being Screwed By Cox (no pun intended)

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!)
