Hmm, maybe I'm interpreting this wrong (I hope so), but I interpret this as saying that basically you'd only be able to mail things through your local isp's mailhost. It means that if you use several different mail servers, all mail would still have to go through the local isp's. Personally, I would immediately unsubscribe to any isp that decided this was acceptable behavior on their part. I use the mail server at work for all my outgoing mail. Why? Because the machine is lightly loaded and I don't have to worry about my mail getting lost in the depths of my isp's mail server for a couple hours because their loads tend to run high. (Hell, I don't generally even use the email account provided by the local isp because of load issues, my work account is so much more reliable).
