  I'm not an ISP, but I know some users here who have wireless Internet 
on their mobile phones have complained in the past they can't send 
e-mail if you have SMTP AUTH only (as opposed to POP before SMTP).  Not 
sure if it'd be an issue for you, but it's something I ran into.  My 
basic response was "tough" :)
