For nearly a year now (maybe longer) I’ve been putting off the idea that is the basis for this site; ”’creating an online anti-spam, anti-virus mail forwarding service aimed at the lower end of the market”’
I think it has finally come down to the fact that I need to create this service as much for myself as for anyone else who would want to use it.
While I know that there are many different services that are already offering the exact feature set that I have planned, the real innovations will be the user interface and the reporting features. I am also planning on creating a service that will allow both POP3 and IMAP functionality instead of just mail forwarding.
… and all of this will be created from scratch. While I know that solutions like the mail toaster package open source software together to create a mail server to accomplish all of the goals that I have, the real problem is interoperability. They work well cobbled together, I want a elegant solution that will be expandable in the future as well.
I still have some hacking to do before I get moving much farther on this, but I think putting pen to paper would be motivational, so to speak.
