I use gmail for my SMTP needs. I have accounts on a couple of unix
machines, yahoo, gmail, aim, my business hosted via godaddy and I
choose gmail as the default SMTP server for all of them. Works like a
charm.

Give them a try. Gmail is free and it can be a good account to pass to
sites that you feel may be spam generators. Gmail has web/pop/imap
access and has fairly decent spam filters.

I would not trust Google with your data, far less mine. They have all
ready been accused of illegally pilfering through user data and mining
for user wireless information. I avoid them like the plague whenever
possible.

What I would like to know is if the OP tried using the ISP's SMTP
server, often referred to as "smarthost" feature in several MTAs.

Yes, I did. They will not accept anything from my MTA even when I use the smarthost feature. I can use either their web site server (that I detest) or Firefox, but they will not allow sendmail even with smarthost.
