The problem is you won't be trusted to deliver mail directly to most mail servers unless you have a static IP. Even then thats no guarantee. What you have to do is relay through your ISP's SMTP server where you're "trusted". You should also be able to setup PHP to use your ISP's SMTP server and never touch the SMTP service on your local machine (if you don't feel like playing with Postfix).
