Thanks for the tip!

Telnet does fail, and I found out that my ISP (earthlink) is known to block
25. The information I found said to put 'mail.earthlink.net' in SMART_HOST
in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc. Is that /etc/mail/freebsd.mc on a freebsd system?

I tried putting it there, but it seems to get ignored. The docs on
sendmail.org say things like LOCAL_RELAY override SMART_HOST, but I didn't
find anything like that in freebsd.mc.

Anybody know what I did wrong?
