Can be... but it can also be possible that those servers are not
accessible from outside the network. It's also possible that i'm wrong
on this one.
The support pages of your webhost tell you what the smtp server is
called? Interesting... perhaps you can give them a call and ask if they
block access to their smtp host from the webserver.
(You can also ask why they add the "on behalf of" text to each message
when using the mail function ;)
