if you want to relay mails from mydomain.com for example, you have to set up an smtp and pop server for mydomain.com, connect to the net through any isp and relay through your smarthost. Your isp will only relay mails from the id_they_have_given_you@yourisp.com

Huh? ISPs need to check for valid senders. They can do this by a) Requiring you to be in an IP block they control b) Using POP before SMTP c) Using SMTP Authentication d) Using TLS AUTH

It seems from trying to telnet that MTNL and VSNL require you to be on their network and POP before SMTP or use smtp auth. Afaik no TLS. So my smarthost sitting on MTNL adsl will send to you@yourisp thru me@smtp.mtnl.net.in via mysmarthost. But will it send to you@yourisp thru me@vsnl.com via mysmarthost.
