If your email comes from anywhere else besides an IP assigned to your ISP, it may be considered a relay. So the most correct email (SMTP) server to use for outgoing email is your ISP! Or your own email server. Assume you have an IP address. Email servers aren't that hard to setup.

The mail can still have your return email address if you use your ISPs server. So what if the header info has them listed. It won't hurt anything.

You can receive email at a different host. The send and receive don't have to be the same.

Your host should really offer the service of SMTP and POP3. If they do not, a new host makes sense to me too.

One last thought, your ISP should have reverse DNS turned on. Often times you have to ask for this.
