[Wlug] Mail problem for a Monday morning

It's Monday morning, I'm tired, and I've got a headache, so I'm not sure
I can even explain the problem right now, let alone solve it.

Work seems to block port 25 (SMTP), but not 993 (IMAP-S) or 22 (SSH), so
I can SSH into my (home) mail server, or read my mail via IMAP, but I
can't send anything.  My (home) email account doesn't have a shell
account, so I can't log-in via SSH and send email in pine or something
(and that would be a PITA, anyway).

What are my options?  Can I use putty to tunnel SMTP through port 22
SSH?

One of these days I'll set up webmail and this will be a moot point, but
I'm hoping for a quicker, more immediate solution.
