Bellsouth.net POP3 Problem

I've had this problem since I've become a sprint customer. I can receive e-mail but can't send any. The answer I've found is that Sprint doesn't let you send e-mail from a non-sprint address using their pop servers. Basically, you can only send e-mail from the phone if you are using your Sprint e-mail address...

I'm sure there are solutions but I sure haven't found them yet cause I'd love to send e-mail from my regular e-mail address through my device.

You just need access to an SMTP server. For example, the SMTP server I run at work has no authentication requirement for local users (on the network) but requires a username and password for users that are on other networks. So I setup my POP3 accounts on my Touch Pro and each of them uses my company SMTP server via authentication.

Sounds like a good idea. How does one configure that? I have a website on POWWEB. Perhaps, I can use their SMTP server.
