Well, we did think of having this done, but given our leased line is not the
most reliable part of the system (provided by BT), we figured it was best to
leave the ISP part of things in the loop - yes it's an extra hop along the
way, but it acts as a safeguard buffer for when our LL goes down, mail isn't
bounced back to whoever as undeliverable :/

Still.. given we have a permanent connection, it's a pain to have to wait 15
mins between connections to the ISP for mail collection :|
