I have a couple of dozen email address using four different domain names. I
can send email through three different email servers but most of my email goes
through only one email server.
If you are only sending email you can send the email through any email server
you have an account with. You should have an email account with your ISP.
Most ISPs have there email servers on ports other than port 25, for instance
port 465 or port 587. You just need an email client that allows you to change
the FROM and/or REPLY-TO headers and send through your ISPs email server.
