Can I use PostCast smtp server with Outlook with ISP, PeoplePC?
I have been looking for an smtp server to be able to send outgoing emails from Outlook. My ISP, Peoplepc, does not send outgoing mail through Outlook. I believe PeoplePC is connected to the Earthlink server, which doesn't allow you to send outgoing mail except through their server, but PeoplePC does work with outgoing mail with Outlook Express. I want to be able to take advantage of some things in Outlook.
Will PostCast smtp server be able to help me with this, even in Peoplepc does not allow any outgoing email other than through their smtp server or through Outlook Express?
If I can use PostCast server, please tell me what I need to know to set it up, configuration-wise. Thanks.
If I can't, is there any other way I can use Outlook for sending outgoing email?

I got the correct configuration from Earthlink for using Outlook and then followed that as a model in terms of settings and successfully got Peoplepc to work with Outlook. I realized that when they said they didn't support Outlook, it meant they couldn't talk to you about it because they weren't trained on it, but in fact, it worked with Outlook.
Thanks
