Are you sure?
That would mean they were running an open SMTP relay which would be
noticed by spammers and abused and probably blacklisted around the
world.
Did you change anything in your mail config mean time? It's more likely
that they are running an SMTP server that allows you to authenticate and
that you either changed your config or that they started rejecting your
username/password for other reasons (account expired, password changed
etc).
