Surely that would only work if the destination server was not reachable, unles the mail server can read the " bounce " email that comes back. Even if it could there would still be a large delay as some smtp servers take there time in returning the mail.
I use no-ip's smtp relay service (as well as a few others) and it works perfectly for me.
One thing that I would stress as was stressed in the second post on this thread - Make sure you secure the mail server correctly - This is vital as there are allready plenty of insecure mail servers around.
