However there are several possible ways for your ISP to control access to their mail server and you'll need to talk to them to find out exactly what you should do. How did you manage to send the e-mail I'm replying to? I see from your message headers you're using the Evolution mail client, so presumably you've configured it to speak SMTP directly to the ISPs mail servers? What settings did you have to put into Evolution to make it work? It should be possible to deduce from that how to configure sendmail to work similarly, although it may take someone more familiar with Evolution than I am to join up all the dots.

Can I configure my system's sendmail to the above suggestion that you wrote? Or am I stuck to using Evolution/Thunderbird with an SMTP setting and not sendmail as my smtp server? You know what, I once tried following an article from the BSD Hack book that I have but because of my poor knowledge in sendmail I could no longer received emails then...So, I had to reinstall my system again...that was months ago...Maybe I should try that one again and post it in the ML if I encounter problems (I know I will)...

The simple answer is that the name your machine claims to be isn't registered
in the DNS, which is normal for dynamic connections. You should either relay
all email to the mailserver your ISP should have available, or you should
configure your MTA to masquerade as a valid domain.
The former is likely to better in terms of passing spam-sensitive mailers.
