There's a good reason for this -- a lot of spam comes from dialup lines. (Think of all those 'free trial' AOL disks.)
It's perfectly fine to ask you to relay through your ISP's mail server; doesn't impede your life at all, really, does it? Your ISP's mail server will happily relay your mail to the desired destination.
