[TriLUG] Port 25 blocked

[Jason Tower]

there are about a bazillion hosting companies out there that will give you
basic hosting for under $10/month, i'd probably just sign up with one of
them, have your mail sent there, and pop/fetchmail it down.  heck, for
$10/month i'll gladly host your domain's email on my colo server :-)
