To be honest you shouldn't be sending any email from webservers anyway

or hook into an ESP vendor's API directly (which is what I do).
Joomla allows for remote relays on SMTP when using the Joomla mail function.
ESP hooks are always a debate.....do you use it for ALL your system
notices and everything, or do you use it only for updates?
Of course, on the subject of email, you should really have 3 systems for
email.
notice/info/system/something.mydomain.com - either an SMTP relay or an
ESP for system notices[new forum posts, password changes, etc].
updates/info/lists.mydomain.com - for your bulk mailings and FTAF stuff.
staff/suppport/etc.mydomain.com for your personal communications
This way when[not if] some mail system blocks one of your systems
because a few lazy people choose to use "report as spam" to stop getting
forum updates - when someone else complains that they can't get their
password reset request the PERSONAL email you send to them is not blocked.
