I decided that it was too much to take on for one person alone, although I
still entertain these fantasies about some kind of email cooperative
organization; owner-members, sort of like food coops or other cooperatives.
That way the work could be divided among the members. It seems to me that a
fairly small group could do it. But then somewhere along the way, there would
arise issues of trust, and we would have to draw up some sort of formal legal
agreements, and then ... gradually, eventually ... we would become prisoners
of a smaller version of the very thing that we set out to escape.

Jonesy I forward my gmail mails to my regular account
(which is on my web
hosting).
I believe that, if you do that, any e-mails that gmail believes to be
spam do not get forwarded, but are merely placed in the gmail spam folder
on the gmail server. I welcome correction if I am wrong.
(And the corollary is that this is important because, at least in my
gmail account, some 10% of the e-mail that gmail sends to the spam folder
is in fact legitimate e-mail that I want to see.)
