Free ISP that DOESN'T block SMTP?

[zeroidea]

I've been using FreeWWWeb for the past 4 months or so. Their SMTP server has been down for the past week. I have a commercial webhosting account at pair which includes pop and relaying, but FreeWWWeb blocks port 25, so I can't use any other SMTP servers. I can't even install a server on my own computer and use that.

Will any of the free ISPs allow me to use whatever servers I want to? I've had to resort to using webmail to send email

Someone recommended 1nol.com, and I signed up, but they seem to be having authentification problems right now. Altavista and FreeI both, well, suck. I haven't installed any others yet because they tend to mess up ones software..

Help? Suggestions?

Hell, I pay for my ISP and they still block SMTP mail not originating from them.

Freewwweb's SMTP server sure does suck :| :| :|

damnit, netzero's pop3 and smtp servers seem to be down. i haven't checked my mail for over a week! i know i'm going to pay for it by downloading umpteen megs of crapmail on my 56k

1nol.com seems to be the only one for me (well, altavista too.. but they got a banner ).

you can run your own server, just dont use port 25.

 

[Rifter]

did you get it working?

 

[zeroidea]

haven'tried. freewwweb sold out and 1nol still doesn't work.

i may just bite the bullet and go for a $10/mo pay isp. or upgrade to cable or dsl.

 

[Rifter]

cable would be worth it thats what i have, works great for games and its good enugh to do some small time webserving even though you arnt supposed to run a webserver.

Is there anyway to use Pop3 on the web? I hate using Netzero for my SMTP, it takes forever to send and it always has that little signature thing at the bottom...

 

[Daedalus]

GoldenBear, that link on the other side of you is a free pop.

So how about a web-based SMTP server?

Rifter: how do you "run your own server"? I have the same problem with Freewwweb.com blocking port 25. I have to disconnect and reconnect to a 33.6bps connection in order to send mail. it's very annoying...
