1. Hosting suggestions?
After many happy years with myhosting.com (formerly softcomca.com), I
need to move my two domains.
Reason is, they've gone crazy on spam filtering, and use sorbs to
lookup sending domains to see if they're blacklisted.
Result is that email to my domains bounces, and in the case of Yahoo
groups, for example, they stop sending it. This accounts for some of my
problems getting email from this Euphoria forum.
So I'm looking for a good, reliable hosting service, that doesn't
take it upon itself to decide which emails sent to me will actually
get to me.
Location doesn't matter ... myhosting.com is in Canada.
Any recommendations?

ListFilter.com is hosted by host-web-site.com
Their prices are here:
http://www.host-web-site.com/en/price.html
I'm using Plan 200, but may have to move to Plan 300 soon.
They have SpamAssassin, but it's up to each user whether to turn it
on or not. If you turn it on, the spam is filtered into a special folder
that you can review. I don't use their mail normally. All my listfilter
mail is read by a Euphoria program.
If you are having trouble with Topica, or even if you aren't,
I recommend that you use the EUforum RSS feed:

Wow! Those prices are seriously affordable!
I take it you've found them reliable over the years?

In over 3 years, there was one incident where they crashed
and lost some of my data, and took a couple of days to come back.
Other than that there have been just a few outages for a few hours
or less with no loss of data. They've replied to several
tech support requests, always within a day, though I know of
someone who says they didn't reply to him at all one time.
I think they are based in Europe somewhere, but I'm not sure.

Can you expand on that? I don't see anything in the archives for
*receiving* mail, just for *sending* it.
Are you using some equivalent of getmail or fetchmail?

No. I was using the Linux "mail" command (and Euphoria's system()),
but now I simply have a Euphoria program running 24-7, checking for new
incoming mail by looking in a particular directory.
The vast majority of the incoming mail is spam. In fact,
I'm now getting about one spam message per minute sent
to listfilter.com. EUforum messages have a special header line,
so it's easy to filter out the spam. I don't use listfilter.com
for any personal e-mail.
