This is becoming a common problem, which I just wrote about in
this message

 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.pine.general/1479>

that I posted to the pine-info mailing list. The relevant part is
Scenario 2, which as I say in the message is a real scenario.

I think that the solution is that people have to start demanding
that providers give users the *option* to have control over their
mail flow. And I include this in my list of " What to Look For in
an IMAP Service Provider," which is here:

 <http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/imap/isps/#look4>

In your situation I would ask them to set up their MTA to route
your mail to a system where you can control the mail flow (set up
your own procmail recipes, edit your SA user_prefs file, etc.).
If they won't provide you with such a machine, you can sign up
for one of the IMAP providers I list on my page. I'm happy with
DreamHost, which is $9.95/month for 500 MB of IMAP-accessible
space, backups & restores, full SSH access, WebDAV, and lots
more.

Good Luck,
