An available mailserver is not the same as a mailrelay. A couple of
providers are only offering this service for an additional fee. (some do
not!) A good point is to ask your ISP himself, if they provide this
service and all authentification-stuff. some ISP aren't even doing
authentification but examin the clients ip and check if they are singed
on for this service.

this should be enough I guess (I use a similar one for my setup)
