hi Todd,

and realized that you have to do authentication to come in from outside
a sonic.net ip address, so found this:

specifically for centos...

Should be a piece of cake.  Here are the relevant lines from my sendmail.mc:

     define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS',`TCP $h 587')dnl
     define(`ESMTP_MAILER_ARGS',`TCP $h 587')dnl
     define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.comcast.net')dnl
     FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info')dnl

And in /etc/mail/auth/client-info:

     AuthInfo:smtp.comcast.net "U:root" "I:my_user_name" "P:my_passwd"

And in /etc/mail/auth/Makefile:

     client-info.db: client-info
          makemap hash $@ < $<
