  My reply seems not to have been posted, so to restate:
I have an ADSL dialup with AOL, and sendmail fails.

Thanks for the help. I've followed a couple of suggestions:

*) Forget ssl, use my ISP's SMTP server. This is smtp.aol.com
   The result is identical, with my work IP changed to smtp.aol.com
   At least it proves ssl wasn't the problem!

*) Try "MASQUERADE_DOMAIN"
  I try many combinations, (aol.com), (ipt.aol.com), and I get one of:
dsn=5.6.0, stat=Data format error
or
dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Name server: smtp.aol.com: host name lookup
failure

I guess the 5.6.0 might be progress? But 'data format error' doesnt'
give many clues as to where this has been encountered.
Also,   ctladdr stays fixed as root@MYDOMAIN-COM, throughout.
Should it change? Running sendmail on the command line has it
still picking up the name 'after readcf'. I tried  ading by hand
Djaol.com in sendmail.cf but it didn't change anything.

   Does anyone have any more clues how I can override the name?
I suppose I could somehow change the name after dial-up, but
as this is a NAT routing point it doesn't seem to make sense internally.
