Just my $0.02... I used to do my own thing -- run my own webserver, mailserver, DNS, etc... but there came a time for me when I just didn't want to hassle with anything, and I think for any public mail service, gmail from what Ive seen so far is the best.... and it's spam catcher is very good, only a few have gotten through, which i just mark as spam and never see them again. I think Google has done webmail right... If anyone wants, I have 6 invitations.... just email me.
