No -- what you've done so far is fine. However there are several
possible ways for your ISP to control access to their mail server and
you'll need to talk to them to find out exactly what you should do.
How did you manage to send the e-mail I'm replying to? I see from your
message headers you're using the Evolution mail client, so presumably
you've configured it to speak SMTP directly to the ISPs mail servers?
What settings did you have to put into Evolution to make it work? It
should be possible to deduce from that how to configure sendmail to work
similarly, although it may take someone more familiar with Evolution
than I am to join up all the dots.
Cheers,
Matthew
