Decision made to curtail existing email services due to enormous amount of time required to service and upkeep the email server including never ending battle with hackers and spammers.  Email forwarding made available.  Does anyone want to buy an email server software with unlimited email box and domain license that will run on any Microsoft NT4/2000/XP/2003 box?
