Well like I say - if there is nothing on the line and tyou do not want to use
it as an authoritative business site then masquerading may well work. BUTn
watch out -- ISPs who do not let you host without paying extra usually have
pretty effective packet monitoring to detect whether you are hosting or using
smptd so they can,if they find you breaking their heavy rules, they cut you
off without warning.
To be safe I would recomend you consider finding an alternative ISP if there
is one around. If there is not then you could find yourself in difficultuies.

good luck whatever
