   Which environment does exist already? Do you have a permanent internet

   Wow. No DSL-Modem? No Cablemodem? But with hardwired IP connection why do you   
   need a cloud server??

   Your node is listed with the CM flag, indicating crashmail capabilities and   
   accepting mail 24h a day. See nodelist:   
      
   S     The following flags define special operating conditions:   
   S               Flag      Meaning   
   S               CM        Node accepts mail 24 hours a day   
      
   Running that node offline is annoying behavior. The minimum requirement for a   
   node is accepting netmail in the zone mail hour. There are nodelistflags if   
   you need to accept mails outside the official ZMH. Normally the NC should help   
   the nodes to find the correct nodelist flags. If you can't stay online please   
   consider changing to a point AKA. Points do not need to be online or accept   
   incoming calls, they just poll to get the new mail from their uplink node and   
   that's it.

   If it's cheap you are the product. Why don't you get a raspberry pi and setup   
   your point on that? Should work with raspian or FreeBSD. You keep control over   
   your system and data.

   See above, get a point number.
