I suspect I am in a minority as I route any email addressed to my
domain, hosted on bitfolk, to me via my ISP. I have always used the
smtp mail service provided by my ISP.

I know Andy, amongst others, doesn't recommend this because it means
changing email addresses on change of ISP but I cannot foresee me
moving away from Zen as I have been very happy with their service
since I moved to them several years ago.

I originally used the company that cabled Bournemouth before
being taken over by ntl/virgin. I shifted to Zen when I got fed up with
the service provided by virgin - moved from cable tv to freesat
at same time - and was happy that I had done so as we moved to an
un-cabled area shortly after.

I don't need the ability to get mail from anywhere other than home so
have never tried any web-mail service. I trust commercial companies
like google to stick to any privacy promises only as long as it suits
them.
