how to configure Sendmail to send a messages through ISP SMTP server?
Install sendmail-doc and check /usr/share/doc/sendmail/cf.README.gz
for SMART_HOST  ( define(`SMART_HOST', `<your.isp.smtp.server>')dnl )

It's probably best to avoid sendmail if you're new to setting up email and go
with the debian default of exim instead.

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:

Thank you. The bat book now is on my table. Very interesting thing is Sendmail.

Enjoy the ride.  That book's a great read.  I suggest you supplement
it with a peruse of tldp.org as well.  Rick Moen's linuxmafia.com has
some very interesting and at times detailed (config-ish) reading IME.

[Well, not like Tolstoy (et al), but you know what I mean.]
The stuff is working, that is most important. Perhaps Debian kicked-off Sendmail only because difficulties to configure.
