Hamilton, ON | Sendmail setup I've got the business edition and can send out on port 25 no problems... that said, some sites will block me because I'm on a dynamic address (potential spammer).
So I was sending through smtp.mountaincable.net until a few months back they decided to block me because I was sending out to too many recipients (I run the Hamilton Linux User Group - and we have a mailing list announcing meetings and such).
So, I was advised at the time to setup my sendmail server to relay using encryption to smtp.mountaincable.net - something I've done in the past with gmail (but that has the limitation of changing the "from" address)... so, while I've emailed support (yesterday and haven't heard back yet, I'm patient though) I'd like to know if anyone else here has done this already(faint hope).

1 edit | Hopefully these documents will help you out, the first link seems to be what you need, but skimming over it i didn't see anything mentioned about encryption, however the 2nd link talks about it.

Edit: These articles seems very good as well:
Sendmail as SMTP AUTH client for ISP mail server relay and Using SMTP AUTH and STARTTLS with sendmail

Hamilton, ON | Nice links - I've done all that... I've actually had this working with GMAIL... but gmail seems to rewrite the from to that of my gmail account (not entirely useful in some cases).
So I have the encryption and auth working - just not with mountaincable... they still haven't responded - it might be time to re-send said email.

Yay - got a response - which got me 90% of the way there (and was actually giving useful error messages)... and managed to get the last 10% myself.
*joy*

Hamilton, ON | What was the problem/solution? How did you fix it? |

Hamilton, ON | Well, problem one:
You can't send encrypted to port 25 in their setup - so I was trying 465... but that's an MS kludge... ended up I needed to send to port 587. That at least didn't time out - and gave me useful error messages.
Problem two:
in my authentication info I had:
AuthInfo:smtp.mountaincable.net "U:root" "I:username@mountaincable.net" "P:password"
This works for gmail - but Adam at mountaincable said to try:
AuthInfo:smtp.mountaincable.net "U:username" "I:username@mountaincable.net" "P:password"
Ended up needing:
AuthInfo:smtp.mountaincable.net "U:username@mountaincable.net" "I:username@mountaincable.net" "P:password"
...and all was happy...
I should write up a full howto... in my infinite spare time.
