Once when trying to mail a friend I found that his ISP blocked smtp 
from my address at the router level even, which was wierd, since I'm on 
static IP, and there shouldn't be anythign that distinguishes me to 
them from my isp's smtp server, but lo and behold, their server did get 
through to them... I just configured my smtp to use the isp one when 
mailing that domain, it has worked fine after that.

Running your own smtp apart from the ego-bonus, is that it will often 
be faster. The smtp i was supposed to use would often take up to 2 
hours to get anything delivered :-)
