I use riseup as well. They have always been great for me, including when
I've had a minor problem or two -- such as when emails from a list for
freelance writers were accidentally marked as spam. That ticket was
fixed right away. The only trouble I have with riseup is the 2 MB limit
for outbound email attachments. I sometimes have to send large documents
(PDFs, DOCs) to clients, and a larger limit would be convenient. I
should ask riseup about raising it; I would be willing to pay for that.

If you use riseup, be sure to donate. You can donate to them through Flattr.
