Sending smtp mail

Having taken up temporary residence in Thailand for a while, I have finally managed to get an adsl connection installed on my telephone line.
However, seems like it is a "barebones" serviece - ie line only and nothing else - not even any support I can track down.

I want to use outlook to connect to my compuserve mail account - works fine for incoming messages but I can't send any mail. The compuserve smtp mail server won't let me connect because i am not on the compuserve domain, but have always got around this in the past in other countries because the isp provided an smtp mail relay that i could use.

So, what is the best advice? Is there a "free" mail relay server anywhere, or should i install an smtp server program on my pc?
