Hi,

TriLUG will be offering email accounts to members but there are still 
some bugs we need to work out.  See http://bugzilla.trilug.org/ for what 
we're working on.

However, if all you want is a forwarding address, we can do that now 
through TriLUG.  Do you have an account on fatalpha, the TriLUG server?  
If not, email sys@trilug.org with your member number and desired username 
and we can set you up.

You can also get lifetime forwarding addresses from places like
http://www.pobox.com/ ($15/year) and http://www.mail.com/ (free, but with
small ads tagged onto incoming email.)  I have had my pobox.com address
for 5 years now, and I've changed ISPs multiple times in the interim.  
It's worked wonderfully for me, except that I get a lot of spam since my 
address hasn't changed.

Hope this helps,
