Well, I think your stuck paying money for a service, but there are
some cheap ones out there.

This guy is pretty cheap:

This one is free - if you can deal with UUCP and the LD charges
to access with it:

Is there any way you could get your webhoster to be a bit more
flexible on their e-mail forwarding?  If for example you could get
them to forward your e-mail to a script run out of your .forward
file on their webserver, you got it made.  They might do that since
it wouldn't require them to devote disk space to a mailbox on
their server.  You would write a perl script that would make a
connection to a nonstandard port on your mailserver.
