   Good thing to do. I recommend Barracude Spam Firewall. Awesome box, 
simple install, good reporting. I use one, I don't sell them. Also does 
anti-virus too.

   Sorry, many users, such as myself, don't and won't use web based 
email.  I don't get to save my email, search my email, and have all it 
at my fingertips.  I agree that for some it's a useful solution but it 
will never work for everyone.
