I can confirm that I done option 2 in the past to good effect (on
Eclipse Internet in case anyone cares) but I've not tried to do it more
recently. I suspect that some ISPs might be a bit choosy about this
nowadays just in
deliverability, especially to the larger service
provider (e.g. MS/Gmail/Yahoo). Since MS now provides mail services via
O365/M365 for a great many businesses, deliverability to these services
really matters. Sending via an upstream ISP's SMTP server just makes the
issue of del
contact and customers.
You'd think that customer pressure would force the service providers to
act more sensibly but because the customers don't *see* the problem they
don't care about it, even small business customers who lose business as
a result.
