NOW: Verizon wants to:

Sure, I can change my iPhone settings, and each Thunderbird instance in
the house (and it works), but I want to keep the home network using *my*
sendmail server for email, and have *IT* forward to Verizon. (Besides,
I have a few scripts that want to send a few housekeeping emails without
invoking Thunderbird.) I tried the obvious changes, but I think I'm
missing something:
define(`SMART_HOST',`relay:[smtp.verizon.net]')dnl
define(`RELAY_MAILER',`smtps')dnl
define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 465')dnl
AuthInfo:smtp.verizon.net "I:userId" "P:password" "M:PLAIN"
This configuration results in "Communication Timed Out with
smtp.verizon.net" or "read error from smtp.verizon.net", and mail justs
sits in my local mqueue waiting to be delivered.
The simple answer is that sendmail can't do that by itself as it has no
support for client-side SSL. You need to use a program such as _stunnel_
to provide the encryption wrapper. Here is a fedoraproject wiki posting
that describes the basics:

That's basically what I had running back in 2007 when Comcast didn't
allow global access to port 587. I'd post the whole setup that I used,
but my old sysVinit script for starting an stunnel service wouldn't be
worth much these days
