Thanks for all the help, well I am probably just going to start out
fresh by installing 4.2-release... so after booted up, I should:

0. Check the /etc/services and make sure smtp-ssl 465/tcp is defined.
1. add the cyrus-sasl package
2. re-compile sendmail with -DSASL (add WANT_SMTPAUTH= yes in /etc/mk.conf)
3. set up up SMTP AUTH with sendmail
client (AuthInfo option in sendmail, and setting the smarthost entry
in sendmail.cf)

My ISP doesn't support standard STARTTLS in port 25... only smtp-ssl.
(in fact they have blocked port 25, but can unblock it at request.)

And thanks for web interface suggestions like webmin! I however like
to at least give this a fair go in the hopes of that I can actually
learn to manage a Unix box.
