Send through external smtp server

This issue comes up occasionally for users of Small Business Servers who don't want to bother with configuration of SPF records, antispam bots, reverse host lookups, etc. for their outgoing emails, but rather send it through the SMTP server provided by their ISP.

The advantage of it is simple - chances that some organization is going to block SMTP server of your provider are smaller than if they block your own IP address.

The disadvantage - you are adding another bottleneck with outgoing emails. This may become a big issue if your organization sends out regular newsletters or bulletins.
