Usualy when i see my addy banned, i turn around and go to a site that DOESNT TREAT ME LIKE A RENEGADE! HELLOOOOOOO?! NOT EVERYONE HAS A F'in non-free email account! It just PISSES ME OFF that ambrosia is EXCLUDING the people who just may not have a PERFECT LIFE and access to a fancy, pay-for, email address JUST TO REGISTER FOR A NEWSBOARD!
It aint right

I know how you feel. My ISP's SMTP server has never worked for me...and its the second largest ISP in the US. Sad.
There are several places you can get a free email that andrew didn't block. Most also provide some other service, such as a free unix shell or web hosting, and actively cull out spammers and idiots.
Try (url="http://"http://www.shellyeah.org")http://www.shellyeah.org(/url) , a free shell service. It used to be that you had to Telnet in and read your eMail with pine, but I think they have a web-based system. You need a Telnet app to create a new account, however. (url="http://"http://www.arbornet.org")http://www.arbornet.org(/url) is the same deal, but they offer less on the shell itself (no IRC, for example).
I use both, and both are pretty good. And I'm sure there are some obscure free email places out there andrew hasn't blocked -- but if I tell you here, I'll also possibly tell spammers that want to register another spam account.
