netbox looks pretty good (except for the $25 signup fee).  How reliable are
they?  Any unscheduled down time?  Do they respond to email?  Provide status
reports?

I'm always on the lookout for "the perfect" email account.  I don't use my ISP
at all anymore (Telocity).  Not only does their email suck, but they don't
respond at all to email nor do they publish any kind of status (did I mention
that they suck?).  I've been using NetAddress (usa.net) for several years, and
have some free POP accounts from them via American Express (Amexmail); they
have had occasional outages, and they also don't respond to email very well,
other than automated responses that almost are on the same subject, but don't
really answer your question.  Still, they're pretty good usually, and cheap or
free if you have an American Express card.  And they have pretty good
filtering, so I get no spam.
