Almost all of them do support SMTP-authentication.  At home or on the road our
users have to GET/CHECK new messages before being allowed to send.  That's when
the SMTP authentication takes place.  Some will even prompt you for a password
if you just compose a message without checking email messages first and that'll
work also.  If you've tried Netscape Messenger or Outlook Express without any
luck then it's probably not going to relay unless your logged in with an account
from that ISP.
