After reading some good reviews, I tried bananahosting.com. The spam filtering (also spamassassin based, no surprise in a low-rent host) seemed somewhat better than dreamhost. But they don't support SSL/TLS for sending & receiving email!! Forget that.

Next stop: webmail.us. Mostly this was a good operation, but the spam setup was inflexible. (A lot of spam got through in the 3-6 score range--and even the most aggressive setting was 6 and above. Bzzz.)

You know, that gmail thing looks good. But I don't want to give up my own domain & addresses... and of course if I just put in that I want 5 or 6 addresses for my family domain, their "google apps for your domain" program is going to laugh at me, right?

Wrong. So that's what we're doing... I'm migrating the MX record later this week after making sure all is in order. I'm already testing it on a "spare" domain, and it works very well.
