Er.  Is she running a mailing list or something?  This is odd, as I
was running exim+qpopper for ~25 people on a relatively ancient box,
and it never went above 10% load and disk space was not a problem.

Either of these.  Just remember that if you sign up with a hosting
service that allows you to send unlimited amounts of mail, you'll
probably be cheek by jowl with evil spammers.

Find your mail client and change the SMTP settings to whatever you
set up in option 1 or 2 that Kurt talked about, of course.
