That varies with the area. My broadband supplier will not allow a mail
server even on their static addresses. If they find any server
operating through either complaints or their own port scans, it is an
immediate disconnection with a $25.00 reconnection service fee.

I can relay through the broadband supplier's mail server, but I can not
run a receive only server for e-mail.

There are no other broadband options from my house unless I want to pay
for the wiring to it from the supplier.

My only other option would be a server at a remote location. Not quite
suitable for my budget.

Sections of my broadband supplier's network were previously owned by
other ISPs that allowed running servers, and for a period of time they
were still allowed to run servers after their acquistion, but those
aggreements apparently have expired.
