We've had this discussion before. I send mail directly because I am
better-able to keep mail working than any ISP I've ever used (probably
because I only need to keep it working for me, rather than for however
many thousand customers); and because a lot of ISP mail relays tend to
get themselves into abuse lists when one customer does a spam run, and
I'm unlikely to get any sort of useful bounce message when that happens.
