I have no experience with smtp, but lots of people tell me that it is really hard to configure sendmail.
Not really. Using the m4 package, it's pretty easy to build a sendmail.mc file that can be compiled into a suitable sendmail.cf. Many sendmail.mc files can be just two or three lines long.
I have an adsl connection to my provider, and my provider runs an smtp server. All I want to do is: send email out using sendmail (i have a php package using sendmail)
You could just select their server as the outbound mail server, and never have to bother with running your own local copy of sendmail.
can you help me?
We could help with the mailman-specific parts, if there's anything in the mailman FAQ that you don't understand. With the sendmail-specific parts, you'd be better off going to a sendmail-specific newsgroup or mailing list, or asking for assistance from your provider.
is it really that hard, or do I just have to push the right buttons, set some addresses right etc?
No, it's not particularly hard.
