That works because in that scenario, your local computer isn't sending the e-mail message out to an SMTP server. Instead, your computer is using HTTP to send the request to the web server and then that web server, which is not controlled by your ISP, is sending the e-mail out.

It gets a little technical here. It would probably make sense more with diagrams. If you want more details, just say so.
