Absolutely.
Findind a suitable server to relay through is not that difficult. Relaying
mail securely through ssh tunnels prevents unauthorised use and only requires
a server with ssh access that accepts [127.0.0.1]25 connections.
On a few occasions after discussions such as this one I have offered an ssh
account on one of my servers for such purposes to one of the people involved
in the dicsussion, but then it always seems to turn out that they don't
REALLY want to solve an email problem, they just want to argue about spam
politics.
