I did have a brainstorm today that I am looking into. Going back to hosting my own email/calendar platform at home and using a free or very affordable email store and forward service. Dynu-DNS does this for
$9.99 per year. They can accept inbound/outbound email to your domain
and do it on custom ports to also get around the tcp/25 blocks.
There was a service I was looking into once called Helm that did all of
the legwork for you. It is its own box that you have at your house and connects to a VPN for in/outbound connectivity so it uses their IPs
instead of your own residential ones.
Of course you have to buy their $250-$400 box and pay them $100 /year for the VPN connectivity. Doing it yourself for $10 /year is a much better option for those with the know-how.
