Hi Folks,
   I've done some googling on this but so far the solutions seem a 
little convoluted, so I'm posing the question to the list in the hopes 
of there being some simple answer I just haven't found yet.

Anyway, lately I've encountered more and more problems related to 
sending mail from an IP in a dynamic range [this is my MTA at home], so 
I figure the best answer would be to smart-host through my ISP's MTA. 
Problem is, in order to help curtail spam, the ISP has started requiring 
authentication to send mail.

How hard is it to configure sendmail (8.12.11) to authenticate for 
smart-hosting?

Tanks!
~Brian
