An excellent question. I was unable, as a customer, to get a direct answer
to any of my queries as to what was or wasn't allowed at all, despite
multiple attempts each time it happened.
After the 3rd cut-off, I cut out, so to speak. :-) All my email still
travels over their network, it just doesn't get routed through their
SMTP servers.

Never found any way to, but that may only mean I didn't find the right
magic combination.
At least now I know my monthly gross transfer is limited to 250 GB
(except in February when its only 228 GB... :-) )
