If you are on a linux box, you also have the option
to offload the authentication to a local MTA.

I'm using ssmtp on several gentoo boxes to this effect.

If your system can't deal with calling sendmail directly,
but requires a SMTP connection, you can still use something
like postfix, exim or sendmail, listening on 127.0.0.1 only,
to receive unauthenticated messages from localhost only,
while using your ISP's smarthost/mailhub with authentication
to get the mail off your box.

HTH,
