What we're getting here is that the ISP assumes any outbound traffic from your connection to a port 25 is SMTP server to server. They may permit you to use port 25 to their SMTP server, and you can test this.
The other thing you can test with you ISP's SMTP service is: do you need to authenticate? if you do, can you send mail using any 'from' address? You might have to add a dummy address in your mail client to do this test.
Provided the last question is answered "yes, I can use my ISP's SMTP server to send from any email address" then you can use this as a SMTP relay. Your NAS SMTP can send all mail that it doesn't have a local account to the ISP's SMTP server, and it will send it to the Internet.
You may get into issues of some mail services rejecting your messages because they can't validate if it's come from the right originating servers ... checking for spam. This is where SPF, DMARC, and DKIM are used. I have setup SPF in my domain's DNS records (I'm using Namecheap) to instruct where my domain's mail will come from:
Create a TXT record for '@' (all) with a value of
Code:
v=spf1 mx a ip4:<ISP's mail servers subnet>/24 a:smtp.mydomain.com a:mail.mydomain.com a:smtp.myispdomain1.com a:smtp.myispdomain2.com include:mydomain.com include:myispdomain1.com include:myispdomain2.com include:_spf.google.com ~all
Hopefully, this will stop spammers trying to mimic sending from my domain. And I should now remove the final google.com since we no longer use it.
