That's what I do. I provide full and complete documentation as to *why* I
require clients to use their ISP's SMTP, and haven't had any complaints. I
think people are more concerned with keeping their domain names off of a
blacklist than they are about email headers that most users don't look at.
Plus if you throw in there that it will keep bandwidth off of the server and
therefore, not slow the server down relaying all that mail, it's an even
bigger bonus.
