Some ISPs really suck, but are the only option in some areas?

At home, my ISP wants me to use their SMTP gateway, which delays mail
by about 20 minutes.  Yes, they're running Windoze.  OTOH, my own mail
server can send mail far faster.  And no, switching ISPs is not an
option.

Of course, I cheat, and have a GRE tunnel to my mail server here at
work, but that's really not something Joe Random Spammer can do :)
