My ISP, and the one before it, don't currently advertise it (or at
least not obviously), but there are lists of SMTP servers run by
Australian ISPs where you can find them for my country. The same
might be the case where you live.

My previous ISP was a re-seller of another network so actually the
SMTP server was run by the network operator and only listed under
their name/domain. So that made it even less obvious that one was
available, but it worked.

The SMTP server should send them back to your from: address, so
like any other email it will be received by the SMTP server that
accepts mail for your email address. In the OP's case that would
be Google's SMTP server.
