Not really.  Large mail system like Gmail and Yahoo have a pretty good
map of the IPv4 address space.  If you're sending from a residential
DSL or cable modem range, they'll likely reject any mail you send
directly no matter what you do.

Which is why I finally gave up and speak to an 800 pound gorilla on port 587,
because nobody dares to mess with that gorilla's port 587 so  my laptop can
always get mail sent. :)
