just get a VPS.. $5 or so a month. i know that's not better than "free" but
maybe someone who shares your vision can split it with you? lol. though actually maybe $1.50/mo extra or so to keep a domain for it..

bit silly that a $5 VPS is better than most of the equipment from historical freenets but they get used by one person..

with SPF (and maybe DKIM) you shouldn't really have that many problems with
your emails going to spam.

won't be quite the same as a freenet but do you use any of the other stuff
they offer anyways?
