All you need to do is create a SSH tunnel to a server, a tunnel if you dont know is sending data meant for one protcol through another. In this case we take SMTP data and send it through the SSH protocol and use your SSH box as a proxy. All traffic is encrypted too obviously, so not even WBS can read your mail.
Use putty as your client and when you start it go to the tunnels category on the left, its at the bottom. Now you're going to define some port forwarding rules, the objective is to have our SMTP traffic flowing like this:
Email program -> localhost, port 25 -> SSH server -> mail.domain.com, port 25
so in the 'source port' textbox put 25 and in the destination textbox put the address of your preferred smtp server and the port like mail.domain.com:25, if the SMTP server is on the same server you connect to for SSH then just put localhost:25
click add and connect to your SSH server, putty will then send the commands to use port forwarding to SSH and you can now send your SMTP traffic through a SSH tunnel. All thats left is you need to edit the smtp address in your email application to localhost on port 25 (or whatever port you used).
If putty isnt your style try bitvise tunellier, it sits in the tray, auto recconects and is pretty quiet the whole time so its probably the better option if you plan to tunnel your smtp data permanantly.
If you dont have a shell and wanna do this anyway you can get them all over the net for really cheap, like $1 and less.
