Toby,

Most MTA's accept unauthenticated connections when the destination
mailbox is in their domain. Those who accept it for other domains are
known as spam relays.

Both my main and backup ISP's (Comcast and ATT Global) do not accept
unauthenticated connections, even from their own networks, unless it's
for their own domain.

And this wouldn't be coming from the client, anyway. It would be coming
from Gilles' web server.
