relay=mx2.hotmail.com. [65.54.244.168], dsn=5.0.0,
DSN 5.0.0 means permanent failure - i.e. They will melt down into a pile

As I I don't know that much about how is it that someone can get to send mail from a blacklisted IP address? I'm connected to the internet through an ISP and the ip I used, I supposed, is supplied from them.

In other words, what have I done wrong ? How do I get to not using felipe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as mi mail-address if just bizet.sys.linux is the name of my computer ?

Normally your ISP will provide an email account with an associated smtp forwarder for you. Just set up your mail client program to use this account directly instead of sending through your own sendmail. If you do want your sendmail to handle it (perhaps to get queueing when offline or to let programs send mail easily), add your ISP's smtp forwarder as your sendmail 'smart host' in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:

dnl # Uncomment and edit the following line if your outgoing mail needs to
dnl # be sent out through an external mail server:
dnl #
dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.your.provider')dnl

(the 'dnl' is the comment token).
