That's what I've been doing so far, I was using my isp's smtp as a
relayhost (neuf telecom) but it got overloaded lately and all the mails I
was sending out through it were delayed sometimes of about several hours
so I stopped using it, hoping that I wouldn't get deferred too often.
So far Sandalle's server is the only one wich "rejected" me. 

Cheers,
Mathieu.
