I am wondering how picky the Cable guys can get.. I am running the server for a little while with few of my friends as users logged in most of the time. We are not doing any spamming or mp3 upload/downloads or warez. Mostly running math apps. A good question comes in when I send mail to over thousands of people. I maintain a list and send emails with updates in every two/three months to all these folks. I use perl & sendmail to get it done. Will there be any problem in future doing this ? this is not spamming by definition as these people chose to recive emails. Can the cable company shut me down for this?

Technically, it's no problem, just so long as you have a static IP address. Register your box as a nameserver when you register your first domain and you'll be good to go. However, your cable company/ISP may frown on you doing so... -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.
