I can sympathise with their position -- if you set up your own mail system (say, MTA+popd) it's a whole lot less accessible than a hotmail/webmail account. Even if you can get to a cafe' you would then have to have open access to your pop3d or imapd (gasp!) to the world -- not a pleasant prospect. And you'd still be in the position where POP sucks compared to webmail. I think redirecting to a webmail account is perfectly reasonable thing to do.
