More correctly, he should be abled to use his ISP's relay rather then relaying on his own, yes. I'm quite sure that I've heard of providers not offering a mail relay to their customers. You pay low money and haven't access to any services (because there aren't any). But I think the majority of providers offers such. Depending on the quality of his ISP, he should get help. Maybe he will have also have to figure it out on his own. Cheers, Rocco.
