*"...tightly secure ISP server"
I have yet to encounter a "tightly secure" ISP mail server.
Or do you mean domain host?
I have unlimited e-mail accounts through my domain host and can configure each box to accept e-mail from those I specify; everything else is flat out rejected and sent back as user unknown. Most decent domain hosts offer this type of configuration. An ISP, forget it. Verizon is my ISP and I believe I'm allowed up to five e-mail accounts. I can set one up and within a week I'll get spam. Because of this, I've abandoned any thought of using my ISP's (Verizon) mail server. The only thing I use Verizon's mail servers for is sending e-mail through my domain host, not to receive.
For Renderosity, I use a Yahoo account which I don't care about. I never use it at all. As a matter of fact, I can't even remember the password for it.
If I were you (if you're not already), I'd try a domain host. Buy yourself a domain; domain hosting is dirt cheap these days. Just make certain the web interface is decent and the e-mail configuration is of high-quality with decent features. And go with a well-known host.
Regards.
