Is your ISP's whole domain blacklisted or just the range of IPs they
hand out to their users?

Its fairly common for the user range to be blacklisted, sometimes its
even at the ISP's request, or so I'm lead to believe. In this case
there's no reason not to use the ISP's SMTP server as your relay_host

OTOH if the whole ISP domain is blacklisted it may be time to find
another ISP. If they are so careless of other Internet users that even
their SMTP server gets blacklisted what does that say about their
attitude to their own users?
