Except when the ISP hasn't got a clue and rejects non-local mail!
Don't believe it's possible? It is.

Spain's no.1 Teleco has finally had the dialup users included in the
DUL lists and their mail servers have this restriction. Technical
support suggested I use the ISP's webmail which didn't have this
problem, or that I try again, as they were looking into it...

I found a solution (using postfix) which saved the day.

There are plenty of other providers in a similar league. It's a shame.
