Oops forgot to mention there is a small set of complicating factors:

1. The people and addrs I process mail for all have the same domain
but live in locations all around the globe (virtual company)

2. The domain should/must be the same as the company's web page (see
my sig for addr) which is on a convention web hosting arrangement

3. As far I can all inbound/outbound smtp/http (25, 587, and 80) are
blocked by the ISP (they offer them under a business package that also
includes a static IP but currently that is too pricey)

4. The ISP is the only one in my area (semi-rural) that offers high
speed bandwidth

5. Even though my web hoster offers mail forwarding it does not offer
mail box and/or mailing list hosting (having prepaid for 2 years and
only being 2 months into the deal I am not going to switch providers)
