This is very little information, can't you find anything in a logfile 
somewhere? How are you trying to post? From Evolution, Firefox, your own 
mailserver?

In very general terms, where you had smtp.your.old.isp you should change 
this to smtp.your.new.isp in whatever software you are using to post. And 
ask your new isp which mailserver you should use for posting, he should 
give you that information.

If you are still allowed to use the mailserver of your old isp it may be 
you could use this without authentication from within the network of the 
old isp but will have to authenticate yourself when you are using the 
network of your new isp.
