Many people on this list will not be familiar with the detailed workings of
sendmail; in general, we run qmail because (among other reasons) we don't want
to have to learn sendmail's byzantine configuration. Please explain how
this works with sendmail; then we can tell you if there's a qmail equivalent.

Yes, smtproutes. It's trivial. `man qmail-remote` for details.

Yes, in many places, including djb's site and www.qmail.org.

There are SMTP-AUTH patches for qmail. Two other techniques widely employed
include selective relaying by IP address, and SMTP-after-POP3/SMTP-after-IMAP.
