This is for me to help determine interest in Subaru SVX email.

[wasions]

More info please. We obviously, all have email. What would be the benefits of SVX email?

Well, I too have a regular email address, but its boreing. You know, something@fiberpipe.net, wow. I dont use this one. I use god@subaru-svx.net (Only an example). Why, becuase I feel it has more character than the first. Another example:

If your name was bob and you have an everyday email address account like bob148@aol.com, thats fine. But would bob@subaru-svx.net say more about what bob enjoys? Now I know this wouldnt be for everyone. I know that probably Aredubjay and myself are the only ones who think having a Subaru SVX email address absolutly rocks, but I am trying to find out if there are others who would be interested. The email would work like a normal POP3 email account as well as having a web interface to use while on the road or at work like Hotmail or Yahoo mail. This is just an idea and I am trying to get peoples feelings or feedback about it. Lets me know what services are wanted or wasted time.

Chris,

Could this SVX address be forwarded to an existing email account. That will affect how I will vote.

Doug, if you use Outlook, or outlook express, you can point it to the server and check it from anywhere. I'm sure, if whatever software you're using has the capabilities of checking multiple boxes at various locations, you should be able to forward.

Right now, I have a yahoo account, earthlink, svx.net and aol. The only account I can't check through Outlook or Outlook express is AOL, but, with AOL Anywhere, I can check my AOL mail, anywhere. So, it's no big deal.

Chris, correct me if I'm wrong.

I think a subaru-svx.net email address would be killer. Sign me up!

Chris,

I would be interested only if the Subaru SVX e-mail offered the same kind of firewall and protection against computer viruses (or is it viri) that typical corporate e-mail systems have.

PS: Can I vote for Ralph Nader again.
PPS: I tried to vote but the ballot was very confusing. I think an
e-chad on my ballot is hanging.

That is one of the benifits of forwarding option. If I forward it to my main email account on my server, its scanned and cleaned before it ever hits my computer.

My firewall could beat up your firewall.

[mohrds]

You tell me your IP, and I'll tell you mine...

Doug

[LarryIII]

Could someone explain to me what they are talking about.
The only server that I have is my butler; and to me, IP means Initial Point.

Larry III

[mohrds]

My butler doesn't have an Initial Point, just a bedroom in the guest wing.

1> Yes, auto-forward rules can be set.
2> Yes, its scanned and cleaned should a virus cme through
3> Our email server also does spam-x tagging to help you handle those pesky cans of spam.

[mohrds]

Thanks. I will now cast my ballot

Larry...a firewall is the metal part that separates you from the engine compartment.
Just thought you'd like to know.... Don
