Most ISPs won't accept an SMTP connection from outside their
network unless there's some authentication.  You usually have
to use the local ISP's SMTP server, or you have to set up
to use authenticated SMTP through your own ISP.  The way this
is set up varies with ISP--many of them will simply say it
can't be done, but it can, and OS X Mail is happy to use it.
