If you have a shell account on someplace.edu, yes, I agree, that's probably the best way (and if anyone looks at the headers of this message, that's how I've been doing SMTP for like three years now... Too lazy to set up SMTP AUTH somewhere where I'm the admin). But if you have no shell account, or you're not technologically clueful, you're still hopeless... So, the conclusion still seems to be that SPF and such things will break your email, unless i) SMTP AUTH is available ii) You're sufficiently clueful (and required things like VPN, SSH, etc are available) that you can implement a workaround.
