You can use any SMTP server to email the images. I would just use Net::SMTP
with whatever SMTP server you happen to be using. It's true that some ISPs
offer SMTP servers, but smtp.<your_isp>.com may not be the naming convention
that your ISP uses.

Remember, you're going to need to attach the image to the email as well, so
you'll need to create a multipart message, with the image data encoded in
base64. I'm sure there's a library that can handle that for you, although
I'm not very familiar with using ruby to manipulate email messages.
