    Lots (most?) commercial ISP's have an SMTP server which is open to their
    authenticated users.

    For example, when I am at our summer camp in Plumas County, I connect to
    psln.com, one of the local ISP's. I can still use
    nature.berkeley.edu to receive incoming mail with Eudora Pro, but my
    outgoing SMTP server in that case is smtp.psln.com
