Even if your ISP won't support your use of a vanity domain through
them, you can still use any of countless email service providers out

your use of a vanity domain.
Assuming your ISP doesn't block the necessary ports, in an attempt to keep
viruses contained...
SMTP AUTH can take place over *any* port. The email service is worthless
for SPF purposes if you are not authenticated - that is why you're not
using your ISP, remember? The ISP won't block *all* ports (or you're
wasting your money). They probably don't block 587, the typical
SMTP AUTH port.
