There are some mail transfer agents you can get, including sendmail.
However, I would suggest you change ISPs to someone that supports SSL
connections for email.  It is even possible your ISP does this
already, but the person you spoke to didn't know.  That was the case
at my ISP.

An alternative is to send mail through the school's server.  You
can have several SMTP servers specified with the OS X Mail ap (which
also handles SSL connections quite slickly).
