Indeed. The way I work it is to have a real ISP which doesn't drop
packets going to port 25 and have a real mail account somewhere other than
freewwweb. Then I use my freewwweb account(s) for general surfing and
my real ISP for sending mail. Since my real ISP is free for 12 hours a
month, I basically have free dial-up internet service with all the
amenities. Good luck.
Cheers,
Chris
