It would be nice if it were something that lame.  But no I didn't
forget.  I've compiled several here in the last little while trying
different things.

I noticed some of the newsgroups are rife with complaints about this
very thing as regards pacbell.  Apparently there setup is somehow
harder to deal with.

Ditto about there adsl.  Its done over pppoe.  Another unecessary
layer of confusion.

Unfortuneately I haven't spotted a nice summary of how to do it.
Although one energetic poster on comp.mail.sendmail did post a full
howto from 2000 using version 10-beta.  It involved building everthing
from source, inculding sasl and looked hugely complicted.

One possible problem is that the smart host name is different than
the rhs of email addresses:

smtp host: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
email hgp@sbcglobal.net

Also I noticed in the maillog reports, the smtp host is listed as
nomail.yahoo.com, which is different than either.:

  Oct 24 17:51:07 cv sendmail[4740]: g9P0p6T8004738:
  to=<hgp@sbcglobal.net>, ctladdr=<reader@cv.local.lan> (500/500),
  delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30319,
  relay=nomail.yahoo.com. [216.145.48.35], dsn=5.1.2, stat=User
  unknown
