[CLUE-Talk] RFP - web host

[Charles Oriez]

Server must be Linux box. I hate security holes.

Client needs something less than 200M of space and a handful or 3 of email 
addresses.  Intent is to alias addresses to other mailboxes off site, so 
spool capacity for the mail boxes is not critical.  Bandwidth use will 
probably be low

Mail must have spam and virus filtering, ideally permitting us to select 
our own dnsbls at the domain level (we'll use Spamhaus, SPEWS, SORBS, AHBL, 
NJABL, RFC Ignorant, Spamcop, several country level blackholes.us zones)

upstream connectivity must be via a backbone provider that has a good 
anti-spam rep with Spamhaus. (eg - zero ROKSO listings and minimal non 
ROKSO listings - age of listings will be 
considered).    http://spamhaus.org.uk  We don't want our mail blocked 
because the ISP is hanging off a backbone provider that harbors spammers, 
like MCI or SBC for instance.  Someone downstream from coop.net would be nice.

Availability of iptables or htaccess to block access from harvesters

Access to access_log for our site for stats analysis, or webalizer report 
access for our domain, or equivalent

Doesn't require SSL. Doesn't require CGI.  Pages will be mostly static with 
some javascript thrown in.

Contract must provide that spammers will be terminated. If ISP failure to 
terminate spammers gets our space listed in SPEWS, SORBS, AHBL, ISP agrees 
to pay cost of moving or smarthosting mail while they act to terminate the 
spammers.

Colorado based host preferred.
