Re: [MLUG] @home went dark.

The best thing to do is to use a forward email service. I use one called
iname.com. There must be better ones. Really though these are as
suspectible to shutdowns as free services. What is your suggestion Igor?

Good old coin.org (go to the public library to sign up) will also forward
mail for you, though in the seven or so years I've had it they switched
their domain name twice. Its what my mom uses as her primary email
address, so @Home shutting down it was only a small hassle.

For an email address that you can give to possible spammers or post on the
web, use sneakemail.com
