I'm thinking of setting up a free LET service.

Since I noticed there's a few people wanting to store their email somewhere.
I decided that it'd nice if I just grabbed one of my instances, installed kloxo on it, and gave out a free service for the LET community.
The only requirements/rules being:
Being on LET longer than a month.
Obviouly don't abuse it.
I wouldn't set a limit on the # of email accounts per user.
I'd be using kloxo with lighttpd, offering basic hosting services.
And, obviously, it'd be 100% free of charge.
What do you guys think I should limit the disk/bandie limits to?

and why would people trust a random troll with their private mails?
There's a lot of responsibility involved in hosting email..
Something low/reasonable.
So I shouldn't trust most of let?
Maybe I should set it to something low, and increase it upon request (per user).
It might also be interesting to really be selective to keep the reigns in on abusers. There seem to a lot of free services, but most seem to focus on quantity over quality. I'd rather have a low-resource but stable free service than some over-the-moon, abused to hell free service.
I'm trying to keep abusers out by making everyone that want's contact pm me thru let.
I doubt if many will sign up. emails are sensitive to be trusted on free service from some random guy.
Then don't.
Probably not as a primary account -- but I could think of scenarios where it could be a useful service.
For trolling account maybe?
Hmm, free email service.
I suspect someone has already thought of this.
That would be one (undesirable) use. There are undesirable sides to most things in life, sadly.
Gmail
Outlook (Hotmail)
Yahoo Mail
AOL Mail
Yandex Mail
Mail.com
Shortmail
etc etc
Big No No
I definitely wouldn't host my email on a LEB, but maybe that's just me.
I read this as "shovemail"
It's nice that you want to provide something for free, but I think the only thing that would possibly generate interest in this community is straight storage space, maybe owncloud.
kloxo, the control panel whose security track record over the years is almost as bad as zpanel's?
This service obviously wouldn't be for anything important. Just a spare inbox anytime you don't want to use your main one. I'm in favor.
Suggest me something better.

I would use it for online stuff if it was more anonymous.
yeah
no
Ah, the old days of anon.penet.fi...
Not anonymous in the sneaking around way, just in the not being gmail way.
Grab a public sub domain from afraid.org and setup a mx with that. Quick and easy.
that not a good idea, since you can get domain just for $7 and use domain live to host your mail.
After seeing how you like to talk and refer to people, I won't touch you even with a 10 miles pole...
Basically how I feel.
I stopped reading here.
...Until I actually pay enough attention to the thread to see who's proposing it.
