Let me add one one thing. This did work prior to me removing sendmail 
and re-installing. Also smtp after auth, or "popauth" is how I did 
things before. It's a bit of a kluge, not as secure as smtp auth, and 
basically more of a pain to setup then real smtp auth.

I use smtp auth for all my other users and they have been all set, but 
none of them use outlook. I'm guessing there's something I need to put 
in my sendmail.mc file to make smtp auth more outlook friendly, but I 
just can't figure out what it is.

He does not have a static IP.
