The standards Jason mentioned have been in place for years. To my mind that would not be excused by personal emergency. As someone who loves command line shell functionality, I can well appreciate it's attraction for others. I do believe there are still options for people who choose to subscribe to a shell service rather than administer their own servers. Were that me I believe I would first consider Panix.com. As I recall Panix operates on Linux where shell world operates on BSD. That wouldn't block implementing the mail standards Jason mentions, but may prove more helpful to individuals when using the CLI. Good luck, Karen! Let us know how this goes, please. I'd be interested on how you land over this.
