Hurray!  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 my ISP's 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 http://www.jonfullmer.com/smtpauth/ 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.

Much thanks again!
