Many won't accept mail from specific ISPs, certain countries, sometimes even certain continents. You can route outgoing mail through your ISP's mail service or a 3rd party mail service, the technique is called "smarthosting." Incoming mail may need a forwarding service, also, depending on your ISP and their policies / restrictions.

Setting up an MTA to send and receive mail on the Internet isn't necessarily difficult. But ... managing an MTA properly, and being a good network citizen takes effort. That discussion, however, is well beyond the scope of a BSD forum.
