I have this commented out in my configuration - I think it should be the fully 
qualified domain name of the your ISPs SMTP mail server for outgoing mail.  
This is all about logging yourself into the remote smtp machine if you need 
to - normally the remote machine should detect you are an allowed relay from 
your IP address and where in the network you come from to it is unlikely you 
will need it

something like (including quotes) "* smtp.myisp.com bydns_a"

I think this says route all outgoing messages (the *) via smtp.myisp.com 
looking you their A records by DNS (bydns_a) to check that they are valid.
