Not so sure myself about it being a good idea. Like I said - an awful lot of people use the mail services provided by a company other than their ISP, but still use their ISP's mail server to send email. My mail provider, Pepperfish (@ppfm.net), don't even have SMTP servers - just POP. All mail servers prevent mail relaying (or they should...) so there's no chance of using an SMTP server other than your ISP's - unless the server uses authentication, which very few do. The only time I've encountered it was at Uni - because of JANET.
