At the very least shouldn't AMPRnet folks be able to send and receive email from other AMPRnet stations? I'd think that would be a good first step for dealing with EMail. A bit easier and safer than dealing with the whole Internet.

I have to disagree here.
Specifically, most mail servers only care that your server has *VALID* reverse DNS, it doesn't usually *HAVE* to match exactly with the forward record, though that is recommended. Additionally, a mail server can handle any domains you like. Set domaina.com's MX record to mail.domainb.com and domainb.com's mail server can handle both. (Assuming your SPF and DKIM is set up properly.)
My mail server handles (I think) 8 domains now, and works quite happily with the rest of the internet at large. (As it is now with this email.)

Hosting local Email is one of the things that makes 44net special. We can, and should, do our own local Email. Twenty years ago local mail was normal and expected - and hosted on DOS boxes...

Yes -- per host, e.g. k7ve@k7ve.ampr.org. If ampr.net wanted to host everyone, e.g. k7ve@ampr.org then Google offers their Google Apps to non-profits, but you would need an admin team.

I'm only thinking of the local per host case. At one time there may have been an opportunity for a greater organization but there's probably no real need today. We've also already have winlink and gmail...
It's the standalone services hosted locally that are unique and special...
