Jim, I use missed-spam at comcast.net but, I don't know if it's just for folks with Comcast accounts. I send in every bit, don't get repeats (like I did with another carrier) and don't believe I even get one a day. Does BYU have anything set up? Can you contact the folks in charge of the computer system there? I used to talk with the computer guys at IWU when I was there--but that was a small school....
