This email proves that I finally(!) got the configuration correct! I got hung up for a while until I realized I was trying to send the email to the pop3 server instead of the outgoing smtp server. DUMB! Turns out I was looking at the right WWW page (sendmail configurationReadme), but using your link, I was able to find the text that spoke about sendmail in client mode. From there, I was able to find JonFullmer's page, which put everything in terms I could understand. I tested my connection using telnet to my ISP's server port 25, and determined that my user IDs all worked (in Base64), and from there I (eventually) found the wrong server name.
