Yes, but a lot of big ISPs nowadays only allow people to connect to port 25 on their SMTP-servers. (Although even a standard port like 587 is often still allowed..!) I used to use my own SMTP-server myself, but found it troublesome in that a lot of my emails (and this is years ago) would have trouble getting delivered. But yes, it would be trivial and small to have your own SMTP-server on those owned machines. Still would have liked a reference for those numbers...
