Some providers do require that you use their email address as sender.
There is one way to find out if that is the case here, and that is
connecting to the ISP and doing an SMTP session by hand:
telnet provider 25
ehlo your.machine.name
auth plain ..secrets..
mail from:<sender address>
rcpt to:<recipient address>
If it accepts RCPT TO after you give the ISP's sender address, but
complains about RCPT TO with the sender address you want to use,
then that is the problem.
