Of course you depend upon your ISP for email...everyone does, regardless of whether or not you run your own.
Unless of course you are your own ISP, that is...:) |

Except that in most cases ISP's don't allow relaying which in return causes your mail to be bounced/blocked by several major ISP's. In a lot of ways, it just causes more headaches.

Running your own mail server doesn't require relaying. Have your own DNS domain and MX entries and route your own mail.

I run my own email server...but early on I made the mistake of opting in to a lot of junk in the interest of sweepstakes and such....Now I get around 700 pieces of mail per day...
I have to read each and every subject of this spam just so I won't accidentally delete a valid email from someone I know...and even then there is a chance I will delete a valid mail.
Just yesterday I got an email from a recruiter - he had left the subject line blank. Normally those are the first ones I delete, but luckily since he had left me a voicemail too and I knew his name, I was able to keep that particular message based on the "sent from" info.
Changing my email address and disabling the one I have used for the past 8 years is about the only option I have - but could cost me considerable business since there are people who only know the one address and if I were to advertise the change it will only lead to spam on the new address.

I have had a couple people request that I put something in the subject line. I am going to assume it's because of this reason. One thing you might try, ask people to put a certain word in the subject line every time. Pud does that with www.fuckedcompany.com. I don't know how he set it up, but e-mail is bounced back if his name is not in the subject line.

So just inform the people you want to know?

That's just it. I've given it out to many many people over the years....and haven't necessarily had any recent contact with them or even have a current address for them. However, should they decide to contact me, my address is still valid.
I've tried the "put something in the subject line" before too. It doesn't work very well. People generally don't remember such things unless they communicate with me on a regular basis...
