Fix your word wrap.

Have you checked the Handbook?  If not, start with Section 28.10 SMTP
Authentication.  Read that and follow the link to 

http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html

where you'll find the rest of what you need to know.  You're using
sendmail as a client, so be sure to focus on the section entitled "Using
sendmail as a client with AUTH".  

Fairly straightforward stuff, but there may be a lot to take in at first
glance.  Post back if you have any questions or need to be walked
through any part of the process.
