Okay, here's what I wanna do (even though I know very little about this stuff):
I'd like to run a mail server for my domain. This should be accessible using something like Roundcube or Atmail. Problem is, the local ISP has the following restrictions:
- No inbound port 80 (obviously outbound is allowed or else I wouldn't be on here)
- No inbound or outbound port 25 except to their SMTP server (kinda dumb because it doesn't require authentication or really have any filtering)
- 465 and 587 are allowed (less commonly-used ports but Gmail has these open)
The web host I was using for free to do this (OrangeServe) "updated" their systems yesterday to V4.0 and one of the new "features" is adverts on all free websites (which messes my entire site up, not to mention that now my site simply returns a 404 error). The solution I've designed for the website is to pretty much forward the domain root and the www subdomain on port 80 to something like w2.<domain>.<tld>:<port> through the redirect feature provided by PointHQ.com. Unfortunately, I need to host my own email because Google Apps does not allow .TK domains and I'm not even considering M$ H*tmail (and OrangeServe just doesn't work because they broke my entire site).
Now that I'm done rambling, can someone help me design a solution for this problem (for a green user because I suck at Linux)?
