With just a little bit of effort learning python or PHP, you could whip up a serviceable PBW-alternative in short order...

I've got a Play By FTP script (python) for SEV which could possibly be addapted reasonibly easly for SEIV...
I'm not interested in adapting it myself, but if you want to have a shot at it yourself, then I could upload the latest version to spaceempires5.com.

AFAIK, SEIV doesn't actually do anything with that e-mail field.

Even if you have PBW set to send you turns, I recommend visiting the site occaisionally to check for new turns. e-mail isn't nearly as reliable as most people assume it is. I've been having to download my turns manually a lot lately, because the turn e-mails have been delayed on their way to me, if they show up at all.

One reason for running your own server is to be able to quickly fix problems. If the PBW server goes down while Geo is at work, he can't restart it until he gets home. Another reason is if you're using a mod that's still under development and frequently changing; it can take us a while to install updated mods on the server.
