I’ve threatened to do it in the past, but yesterday I finally took the plunge and signed up for an “Enhanced” account (for 5 years) at FastMail. Hopefully this is the last time I have to think about e-mail for the next 4 years, 364 days. 😉

We’ve been hosting a fair amount of mail here on this server and frankly the box is at its limit. The mail set-up is fairly complicated, with lots of configuration hours having gone into getting the Bayesian filters working properly, etc. With the mail off the box, we can finally upgrade to a more powerful server as well.

I’ll be moving my mail today and this weekend¹, and Scott will be transitioning in another week or two. Once the mail is gone and we’re on a faster box, we should have plenty of room to keep growing.

UPDATE: FastMail has a referrer program, the link above now includes my referrer id.

1. I’ll keep some notes as I make the transition for a future post once I feel I can really review the service. [back]
