I am thinking of "outsourcing" my dns to a good provider (something like dnydns.org), but I am looking at what other options I may have.

1. I do not wish to use the services provided by my registrar
2. I do not wish to place that service on my box.

Any good suggestions?

Their forwarding is still problematic.

They control a lions share of the people who access the net here in the us. I was also referring to email forwarding.

Well, to be fair the email forwarding problems are not enoms fault. Its not their fault they are blocked, and its not their servers that are not delivering the mail. Not to mention that anyone who depends on email forwarding for business use is not very smart . . well those users get what they pay for eh?

Pop mail is under 20 cents per account per month. Why take the risk when you can gaurantee it?

if its free service then its supposed to work as expected :)

Of course if it is free there is less grounds to complain vs paid.

Hmmmm. I'd make that argument for paid, not free, but yes, it should work either way.
