I know it's super cheesy, but when I went on vacation, I just wrote a
bash script to encrypt my mbox, gzip it, write a little message
count/status html page, and ftp it up to ISP-provided personal website.
The ISP wouldn't let me run server-side code, so I used a
guestbook-feature to trigger an email with a certain subject. When the
script detected that email, it archived and reset the mbox.
I ran it from a cron script and set my computer to auto-power-on if the
power failed. It worked.
