[$] The NNCPNET email network

Running a modern mail server is acomplicated business. In part, thiscomplication is caused by the series of incrementally developed practicesdesigned to combat the huge flood of spam that dominates modern emailcommunication. An unfortunate side effect is that it prevents people fromrunning their own mail servers, concentrating people on a few big providers.NNCPNET is a suite of software written by John Goerzen based on thenode-to-node copy (NNCP)protocol that aims to make running one's own mail servers as easy as it oncewas. While the default configurations communicates only with otherNNCPNET servers, there is a public relay that connects the system to the broaderinternet mail ecosystem.
