It could make a lot of difference, you would trip the logging
fact of the filter, which would prompt us to call you and ask why
you where trying to go around our AUP stated policy of outbound
email is handled by the smarthost. You'd state your claim
that you want to run your own smarthost. We'd go on about why that
is such a bad idea, and how much better your life would be using ours,
and why we have that in the AUP to prevent spamming, etc, etc.
If you pressured and/or put your foot down we would hand you a very
ownourous looking amendment to your contract to sign and your IP would
get added to the ${SMARTHOSTS} list.
Though for what is probably a <$100.00 account we might just tell you
to take a hike and get another ISP, or get what you really want which
is simply an Internet Provider. If your paying much more than a $100 a
month for 24x7 dialup you should already be looking for another provider
already :-)
