I want to have my outbound mail from that MTA be relayed through some other
host.

I'm only looking for a free SMTP relay service, I am now using
postmarkapp.com and looks like it can do the job for free. I am still
working on how I can do it exactly, but I'm on the right way.
I will also try with Amazon SES, but if it can first offer a free trial it
would be great, that's what i'm looking for, just some smtp relay services
with free trial.
