indeed, my ISP only recently closed their open relay for all customers

I remember back in the day having to change your SMTP settings whenever you travelled to whatever the ISP was where you were staying. then you could finally send email from your @homeisp.example email

If it was only open to their customers, that’s a closed relay, and typical for an ISP.
