Someone mentioned hosting an Onion endpoint. I think that would be a completely different matter, and something that should probably happen on a different hardware level. It seems like a lot of hassle for a hosting donor to provide. -- Jonathan
It was me asking that, and the question not unrelated to KCLUG hosting. Which I'd be happy to do, by the way, I'm not using all the resources of my rented Linode, and have name-based virtual server facility going smoothly.

Is your public IP on a residential or commercial IP block? Hosting mail on a residential address is a constant nightmare keeping up with blacklists, and even then there are some systems you just can't reach.
I think there are several of us who could spare the bandwidth to run the server, but I think if we can find a presence in commercial space it will lend an air of professionalism to the group, and avoid the "some guy's basement" stigma, however unfair that would be.

not entirely clear who the question was addressed to. It would make sense for me to host the mailing list at my linode, if I can get a collaborator or two for the project and we can use my Advenge SMTPD. Outbounds are currently sent via exim which works fine and does the various new magics. Ideally, someone else with a linode or a similar commercial-range IP address server could run the same software, and we'd have the beginning of a federated SMTP cluster, with a business plan.
