WinSMTP is definitely ccMail's SMTP gateway. I ran it here for a while
(before I finally took a sledghammer to ccMail). I don't think WinSMTP is
pulling email from your current ISP. Your ISP may be the primary MX, and
then sending it to WinSMTP.
I think you should be able to just have your MX point directly to your
WinSMTP machine. This isn't an ideal situation because of some of the
problems/limitations with ccMail, but that can wait until after Sunday
night.
As far as outbound email, WinSMTP needs a smart host to point at. You'll
either need your new ISP to do that (which it seems you are saying they
won't), or you'll just need a qmail machine set up to do it for you. In
this case, there isn't much special you need to do for your new qmail
machine that is ccMail specific.
I suggest you set up a qmail machine as it says in the qmail INSTALL file
and then just point your WinSMTP to the qmail machine. Your new qmail
might be an open relay at this point, but it gets you past your
deadline. You can fix being an open relay early next week :-)
