My experience is that the ISP will not allow you to point to some other SMTP
server for your outgoing email. Receiving email from some other mail server
is okay. So, if you point your outgoing email to some other server the it
will sit in your Outbox with the error that the SMTP server is refusing it.

I'm a little unclear as to what this is:
Say I'm a 'large ISP' customer and I access that ISP's dial-up ports and
send mail to that ISP's mailserver:25. That's blocked?
or would they filter my connection trying to contact a port 25 on somebody
else's server?
thanks,
Len
