But it can be forwarded to another address.  I read my mail through
dialup and I live in a country with a very expensive phone rates.
Mainly for this reason it's unacceptable to me to have stored my
@debian.org mail on master, getting really big messages, and getting
messages from sites often used by spammers like hotmail.com.

I still think it causes no significant problem with respect to my work
on Debian, since a bug conversation can go through BTS and any Debian
developer can reach me from his @debian.org address.
