[magento]: emails are not being sent

well, I know there are thousands Q/A on this topic, but none of them seem to answer my question. What I have done so far is that I have configured magento to send emails on port 25 and added the mail server IP. After a lot of struggles I found out that magento is sending emails using mail() function, and I checked with this snippet whether it is enabled in my host or not?

 <?php 
if(function_exists('mail')) {   echo 'mail() is enabled'; }    
    else {  echo 'mail() is not enabled'; }

and the output is that the "mail() is not enabled", so what I did was to ask my host to turn this function on for me, but they were saying it is not turned on for security reasons.

So, How can I set up Magento to use a separate mail server to send its emails through.

What should I do?

Thanks,
