In your setup, it is best to use your Email Service Provider's SMTP server as the "outgoing" host. Otherwise, you will be constantly fighting RBL list providers to unblock your IP. Furthermore, assuming that your IP is not blocked, some sites like AOL (IIRC) will not accept emails unless the MX record and PTR record (for the MX host) match. You have not mentioned which program you are using for your MTA (sendmail, qmail, postfix, exim to name a few). Each of them can be configured to send outgoing message via "smart smtp host" which would be your providers SMTP host. Make sure your provider will allow relay before attempting the changes in your settings o/w you will going around in a circle.
