Gerald,
I cannot see how having a host without a Mail Server installed on it, can
redirect email messages. I've never encountered this before, in 6 years of
email support! In IMail, to accomplish that, you would have to have IMail
installed and set up for 'Store and Forward'.
If milkyway has no POP3 service installed, then you will never be able to
POP to it to get your email.
Yes, a firewall, if not setup correctly, could limit access to any service.
