You may find it necessary to use your ISP's outgoing mail server if you can receive mail, but not send it.
However, before you call them and ask for their SMTP, try changing your SMTP port from the default 25 to 26. This is especially useful for those of you that travel and do not want to use webmail. Using port 26 should allow you to use your laptop and mail program wherever you may travel.
