So either find another ISP, or don't use their smarthost - there's no reason
not to send direct unless you are on a dynamic address or have some
configuration issue which prevents ISPs accepting mail from you directly.

Um, there's no confirmation here that they have accepted the message and
agreed to deliver it - I'd expect to see something like:

250 2.0.0 k5OEvOlr004930 Message accepted for delivery
QUIT
221 2.0.0 relay.your.isp closing connection

In this case, it has accepted the message, assigned it local ID
k5OEvOlr004930, and confirmed that you have requested the connection be
dropped.

If you don't see these, your ISP has not accepted the mail.  I presume though
that you just omitted them?
