If you are using a dial up account, you are better off setting up sendmail
or what ever MTA you use to relay through your ISP's mail server. This
also takes care of problems like problems getting through to the mail
server you are sending to - the ISP's mail server can retry after you are
no longer online, but your Linux box can not.
Now, if you are sending SPAM, then doing this can be a problem, especialy
if your ISP limits the number of addresses/message. It also makes it kind
of hard to hide where the mail is comming from.
