Free Linux-related email addresses?

binarybase · 08-06-2005, 05:07 AM

I just thought it'd be fun to have an email address that ended with something related to Linux, Tux, or a distro in particular (like johndoe@tuxmail.com).

Does anybody know of any free email services like this that can be used with a client (not web-only)?

www.linuxmail.org is nice. It's free (web-based only). If you want pop and smtp, then you need to open your wallet :S

www.freeshell.org is free. All that is required is a dollar sent by you to them to prove your not a spammer, plus it helps support the servers you'll be using.. $1.00 for lifetime free pop/imap email along with a shell account isn't really that bad..

Or you could get a free third-level domain name on dyndns.org and recieve your mail locally: myuser@myhost.homelinux.org

pro: cool
con: requires commitment--if your box is off, it won't get the mail.

(I only send from my box; that works just great).
