PBeM based advertisers?

Hi all!  this may sound a bit odd, but...

Back around the beginning of the year, I switched jobs, and part of the
switch involved the loss of the free server space I had for gamerz.net
with my old company (an ISP).  As such, I've been forced to rent space
at another ISP for obscene amounts of money...

Anyway, I'm looking for ways to recoop these costs without forcing my
free email server to go commercial (non-free).  One way is by doing
web and email list hosting.  But I'm not a marketeering type, and
have little enough time as it is to baby sit the system.  But perhaps
web and email based banner ads.

I could tack on a line or 3 of advertising to each email the server
sends out (ala Juno, or Yahoo!).  Does anyone know of any companies
that would be interested in purchasing such ads?  Are there companies
that provides ad swap services (not sure of the terminology here).

And also, what sort of revenue (if any) might I be able to command?
FYI, pbmserv@gamerz.net *averages* 4-5k inbound messages/day which
result in 8-10k outbound messages... not counting the mailling lists,
and "other" servers that Gamerz.NET hosts...

Any hints would be appreciated.

Richard
