Awesome! The stunnel trick works!
1) I set up /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf as in the Fedora Wiki example (I used port 25025).
2) I then ran "stunnel" from root.
[I'll have to put that in rc.local before I reboot.]
3) In sendmail.mc, I used:
define(`SMART_HOST', `relay:[localhost]')
define(`RELAY_MAILER', `smtps')
define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', 'tcp $h 25025')
4) Changed my /etc/mail/authinfo file to remove the hostname after AuthInfo:
5) ran make in /etc/mail
(this should remake both authinfo.db and sendmail.cf)
6) restarted sendmail
And my first test email got delivered to my ISP address!
Thanks to all for the info.
