Actually, my isp is charter.

My domain name (ehuffy.com) is hosted at pair.com, so i have
legitimate access to relay.pair.com.

I also recently realized i could also use smtp.ehuffy.com (which i
assume is mapped to some common pair relay, if not the same one).

What is odd to me is that the relay i use is not the same as my
address or my isp, but it gets thru.
