Email Server Tip
This post over on Cool Tools is one I’d like to mention here. It’s something I’ve been using myself. The gist is, that you can utilize Google’s incredibly awesome expertise in running email-servers by using their free Google App service. I use it to debug things that I’m working on. I have one of my domains on Google Apps and used it to create ten different email accounts for testing my websites. It’s been a real set-it-and-forget-it experience for me.
Update: I was also reading someplace else that you can use a + syntax in your gmail addresses. So if my gmail address is bob@gmail.com, I can also use bob+sometag@gmail.com and use the “sometag” part to create a filter. Most services will treat this as a different email address from bob@gmail.com, but gmail itself does not. So you can effectively do bob+test1@gmail.com, bob+test2@gmail.com, bob+test3@gmail.com to create N new gmail accounts. Nifty.
