Assuming you're using linux or unix to send your mail and that you are sending 
your mail via the sendmail command all you need is an ssh shell account that 
permits outgoing mail from your address.

Set up ssh keys to allow connection without entering a password
(copy your .ssh/id_rsa.pub or .ssh/id_dsa.pub to the remote server at 
~/.ssh/authorized_keys)

and replace your sendmail program with the following script

#!/bin/sh
ssh shell_account_server sendmail $@
