I would suggest you use your ISP's SMTP as a smart host, remenber you are on dial-up (usually slower than LAN) so why try handle the additional resolving/retrying if your ISP can handle this for you.
I set all my dial-up mail servers to do this.

I have noticed on several installations (most of them with dial-up connection to the ISP) that if I configure outbound mail to use DNS, it fails to resolve the host name of the destination domains. In this case, I am forced to forward all mail to the ISP's SMTP server. Is this a normal behavior? Is there a workaround to avoid it?
