If you're traveling and want to send your e-mail out through your own
server (bypassing or avoiding whatever local SMTP server--if there is
one), you'll need to set up SASL and SMTP AUTH.  (And also SMTPS (over
SSL) and probably also 'submission', which handily allows you to avoid
restrictions from local firewalls on outbound mail.)
