I hate to use the server's email as this makes me dependent on my server for the rest of my life.
This one did the trick although no extensive tests yet:

Google Gmail
Gmail wants an SSL/TLS connection, which is not offered by Zen Cart. Nevertheless, you may or may not have some success with the following:
Set up as SMTPAUTH, with your gmail username/password.
• SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
• SMTP Port 465 or 587
More technical information is available in Google's Help Center
You may have to have your host make some changes if you are using Google hosted mail.
I'm not sure how that statement is really relevant.
LOL ... interesting the irony of your statement ... in trying to avoid "dependence on your server" you're making yourself "dependent on Big G" ... which is far less safe or sane if you read their TOS fine print.
At least using your own server gives you control over your data. Using the big G gives you none.
Regardless, glad you found an answer to your personal goal to support your personal preference.
