Don't get me wrong --- I'm quite interested --- but do you actually have permission to resell services from your upstream provider?

As there are so many questions, I will look deeper into the matter. Thanks for your concerns.

this is soooo depressing.... people please, before you make fools of yourselves, learn unix, learn networking, and then MAYBE start to offer something like this.... and sure as hell not for free. AND ALSO, anyone who owns an ISP with 40 MegaBits per second of bandwidth and doesnt know what ****ing mail server to use is not in a position to offer email to anyone. And if he did, oh my frickin hackamungos.... The problems I can forsee are things like people beating on your server, people hacking your server, people suing you after you realize what a pain in the ass it is and choose to pull the plug... etc. Also, Your upstream feed (MCI/Worldcom/Qwest/UUNet/Sprint/ATT) would all have a fit if you use that much bandwidth. And you damn well better believe they are going charge you for every fricking megabit. Anyway, you'd be paying upwards of 20-40K a month for that level of service, not something your gonna give away, and something, quite frankly, I dont believe you have access to.

calm down...
 
How do you know he isn't some rich, independant ISP owner (or son of an owner) and has the facilities to provide what he says he's going to provide?

People learn by projects, this can be his project, and personally I hope he succeeds. Don't bash him because you don't think he can do it or don't think he has what he says he has. If you don't like it, go elsewhere, no one's forcing you to participate.

If he opens a mail server and doesn't lock it down, he'll learn the hard way. He doesn't need you to start in on him before he even starts. Not knowing how to do something initially may be reason enough for you to quit, or just not do anything, but for some people it's not, and those people are the innovators...

So carry on Nick, I'll be more than happy to help you with questions as you work on your project.
