Perfectly valid.

The mail server I use is 20 some miles up the superslab in Bridgeport, at 
my former place of employment (WDTV-5).  Being retired I have my best 
control over it by calling the station & asking for Jim, their IT guy.

And unless mail.dls.net disallows a pop3 login, my solution should Just 
Work.

And I have a 10 megabaud downlink.  :)

Sorta funny, I guess shentel is going to do bandwidth caps and charge 
extra if you go over.  The small print said the cap was at 300Gb, and 
would cost another tenner for each 50Gb above that.  And as a final 
note, said I used 68Gb the last billing month.  That includes the web 
server on this machine, which has never passed 2Gb in a given month 
according to awffull.

Gotta luv form letters that miss the mark so far I didn't even hear the 
shot. ;-)  I could be running a dozen popular torrents without a pennies 
cost.  And I probably will run a Debian Jessie torrent when Jessie goes 
live as stable in a few days.
