Methinks this is gonna be a love-hate thing... I like the fact that laptop users can set their own ISP's SMTP connection, but when there in an office - it's sent using the local smtp server. It takes the worry out of mobile people's e-mail profiles
By the same token, it does make diagnosing someone elses mail server problems that bit more difficult, especially as some ISPs are now blocking port 25 traffic to servers other than through their own. (it's a question of at what point is it my choice....)
