As I understand the business account, you *can* use their server(s), if
you like.  Or, you can setup your own.  I imagine they're blocking
outgoing smtp, and forcing you to send it through their servers.  I know
for a fact that they don't do that on business accounts.  They also
don't block any incoming ports on business accounts...

well, from what I was told by the techs and sales folks, they use the
same 
e-mail servers for everything.

The only real problem I have with their biz accounts: 1/2 the bandwidth
at 
slightly more than twice the price! It makes no economic sense for me to

switch at this time. now if I could get their biz grade account with
same BW 
on a 3 year contract for $20.00 more than I pay now, I'd hop right on
it.

Unlike a lot of other folks, I don't have a lot of money. I'm barely
remaining 
afloat as it is.

Oh well, enough whining on my part.
