You can also use gmail for sending e mails and use gmails smtp server -- check out http://drupal.org/project/smtp and http://drupal.org/project/phpmailer to make these work u will need php extension for open ssl as gmail only accepts ssl connections to its servers.

You should then be able to use your ISP's mail server - make sure your send from email is set to the same as your personal address.
FYI - You may need to authenticate to your ISP's mail server

I get the below error when I initially set up drupal and whenever it tries to send an email:
