How about...  MV Communications?

Inexpensive, EXTREMELY reliable, supporters of Linux (and of GNHLUG
itself, come to think of it).  Local.  Human beings talk to you.

I run a number of addresses («me»@in-spec-inc.com, «janet»@in-spec-inc.com,
«myhamcall»@in-spec-inc.com, «janetshamcall at in-spec-inc.com», plus the
usual «adminaccounts»@in-spec-inc.com etc.) -- one OP requirement.  I don't
have to admin a server -- desired by several commenters.  NO headaches.

P.S.  Just last week MV's Tech Support helped me fix a(nother) problem.
With my Linux MUA, no less.  (Have I ever mentioned that MV Tech Support
people have unfailingly been friendly, helpful, and accurate?)
