I may investigate that when I get home, sounds like a good deal. I
already run SA at home. I suppose one has to put up with an appended
advertisement to get this?
To get the email, no. Nor SpamAssasin. Only on the webpage should you
have to put an advertisement. But you don't seem so interested in the
webpage anyway.
If you're willing to pay something like $1.50 a month, I've a great
webhost that I can recommend:
http://www.wefixtech.co.uk/
It's run by someone I've met online, but I've no financial interest in
the matter. Just someone who I trust who runs a reliable hosting
outfit. I think there's providers who do no-ad webhosting for even
less.
In any case, whether you go with a free webbased account or your own
domain, get rid of the Verizon email account! Of course, you'll keep
receiving mail at Verizon until all your contacts get the message that
you'd prefer to receive mail at the new address.

And thereby hangs the tail. With my extended family now reaching
grandchildren with their own accounts & even greatgrandchildren in a
couple of cases, that might take a while.
