If you've got someone that's willing to be a middle-man for you, you could
use iptables on their box to accept on port 25 and then redirect to your
box on, say, port 26.
Web forwarding is done for free by several companies, so maybe there's
someone out there offering the same type of free forwarding for SMTP as
well...
