Re: [epub] Mailing Limitations by Web Hosts?

Hi Thomas,

You didn't name the host so it's hard to determine who it
is however, it would be nice to know.  I would be interested
in knowing who they are, not that I would need to worry about
them.  I beleive my host is the best there is.  They have
always been very responsive to my needs and seem to take my
business as serioously as I do.

Either way it seems a change in host would be an appealing
option.  If they can't or won't support you in your business then
they are hurting your business.

You could email me if you like. I would really be interested in
knowing who your host is.
