Excellent advice. A single Newsguy account will provide all the
addresses you need. You can have your domain registrar redirect mail to
your Newsguy account so you can still use your domain name. Since you
would be paying them (about $5/month) you would have an actual contract,
unlike "free" services such as Gmail.
