If you know how to run a good mail server, it mainly runs itself after you have
everything properly configured. Most mail servers will try for a few days
to deliver mail before kicking it back to the end user, some will issue
warnings
prior so that the sender knows mail can't get through... however if there's
communication *that* important, there's a device called a telephone that
alexander graham bell invented that works perfectly to this day :) I tell
my clients this all the time when they become too dependent on email. May
sound a bit snarky but you can't argue fact.

My issue is that since my email address is so old, it's basically in almost
every spamhouse db you can think of. I don't understand why the United 
Socialist States of America think it's fair I pay money for spammers to 
suck up my bandwidth with emails I don't want nor signed up for. 

There's also a big push to eliminate SMTP. Some tech experts say that emails
will be eliminated in a couple of years if not sooner. I'll actually believe
that when I see it.
