What do you mean by "shut the door on free relaying"?  What are you using
for a service provider?  Do you have TWC business or residential?

I've had the business service for about 2 years and it always required
authentication to relay through the BC mail servers, but the residential
SMTP would accept mail from addresses on their network without auth.  If
you have BC service, you shouldn't need to relay your mail.  Ok, that is
if you get a BC static IP instead of the default dynamic.
