Quite agree. The OP asked for Sendmail, so let's keep our focus on
Sendmail, instead of launching religious war each time. In fact, when the
ISP SMTP server need encrypted authentication, I just can't get exim to
work, despite googling and asking for help in various channels including
this mlist. When swithed back to Sendmail, I found the answer just by
googling, without a single question asked.
Andrius, if you don't know what to next after Richard's step, here is a
short guide:
