Another solution is to run your own mailhub pointed to by your own
domain name. E.g., I use sill.dyndns.org, which points to my old 60
MHz Pentium running qmail. I don't use my ISP's mailhub at all. As an
added benefit, I get to manage the @sill.dyndns.org namespace,
including full use of qmail's extension addresses, and an unlimited
number of mailboxes.
