are you serious ? i sometimes send mail out, by connecting to my ISP's
smtp servers. i believe this practice is the same worldwide. however, due
to spam and open relays, some isps may filter access to their smtp server
to only allow thier customers. this can be done either thru smtp
authentication or by ip address filtering (which malaysian isps use).
