Sorry, a bit late on this one.

Digitalocean do a ?3.27/month VM package. I'm reasonably happy with them
for non-critical purposes, and should be more than enough for the job.

AWS also do a free tier for 12 months, although if you pick EC2 make
sure you understand the limitations and restrictions of working within AWS.

Many thanks one and all for your feedback - it has given me food for
thought.

In truth, very little comes through my secondary server - less than one
email a week (at the moment). But it's nice to have something ready in
case they do start to inundating the server.

Fortuitously, they seem to have lost interest in the "live" address they
know about, and have turned their attention to one which has been
discontinued (and blocked).

I wonder if "they" have blacklists about "us".

Regards

Allen C
