[SATLUG] Privacy concerns of "free" e-mail providers

[Chuck]

Its not a question of technical talent -- its money for hard drives!

Even if we just gave each SATLUG member half what GMail provides -- half
a Gig, we would need 225Gig in the server JUST for mail.  We've been
running about 450 members steadily.  And unfortunately, we only have
about 8Gig in the current machine.

Nice thought, but not practical right now.  If were to upgrade our box
though....
