Free != blocked
Contaminated with a crapload of spammers == blocked
It's hard to find a good freemail service, but they do exist.
BTW, I hope they don't block _all_ freemail services, since they can be a lifesaver at times... Some time ago my ISP was having major mail server issues (they were bouncing "spam" - but their worthless POS spam "filter" didn't catch much spam and rejected over half of my valid mail, including AnandTech stuff). Anyway, the mods were very upset that (evidently) I must have been filling their mailbox with bounce notifications, and I would have been banned if it hadn't have been for a free mail service that didn't suck, which I used until recently when my ISP finally got wise enough to let us turn off their fscking horrible spam "filter" (before that there was no option to turn the dasm thing off, and I didn't have any other local ISP options aside from AOL). :|
Anyway, I say that just to request to any mod or admin who may read this, that some of the more obscure but not-so-crappy free email services should be left alone, because there are some people who really have a valid need for such a thing to use here, if they are willing to put forth a bit of research to find one that isn't blocked.
