self-sufficient smtp server behind firewall?

[Alan E Davis <aedavis@eccomm.com>]

Hello list:

I have changed ISPs, where my email address is hosted, and the smtp server I normally use.  I now am unable to send smtp mail from behind the firewall at work (private network), and ftp also isn't working from behind the firewall at work.  

I cannot send out mail through the smtp server of my
new isp from behind the firewall, because relaying is
not permitted.  I have gotten no help from the
firewall admin.  He did suggest I obtain an IP number from the admin of the local network; however, I believe this isn't setting well with the network admins.

Is sendmail an option, to act as an independent smtp server?  I tried,
and I did set up sendmail on my box at work, which worked well for
sending email directly to outside machines, but email to the ISPs domian
don't work, because sendmail is using the isp's domain as the visible
mail name.

How can I set this up so I can send email to myself or
other people on the ISP's domain?  

(Suggestions also accepted about how to access ftp. 
Wget works to download, but I can't find any console
client that works to FTP upload].

Thank you
