Hi there

I was wondering why my SMTP server should be the SMTP server of my ISP and not that of my domain.

Regards,

You can use your domains smtp servers but note that you will have to do the following:
1) Enable SMTP authentication
2) Be billed for the traffic

It is just easier for customers to use their isps smtp, but it is not compulsory.
