 From their directions, since you're on CentOS, you probably need to:

edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and add:

   FEATURE(authinfo, `hash -o /etc/mail/authinfo')
   define(`SMART_HOST', `outbound.mailhop.org')
   define(RELAY_MAILER_ARGS, `TCP $h 587')

create /etc/mail/authinfo and add:

   AuthInfo:outbound.mailhop.org "U:username" "P:password" "M:LOGIN"

run:

   makemap hash /etc/mail/authinfo < /etc/mail/authinfo

then:

   /sbin/service sendmail restart

I think that's right, but somebody who hasn't given up and gone with
postfix might point out a flaw, like if the current init scripts don't
compile anymore (used to have to install a sendmail-cf package and run
'm4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf').

But I'd say go for it since you're comfortable with them.  You have 30
days to bail:

and I've never had them give up on me at support at .  And the kids will
get their schedule tonight. ;)

Inbound might have to wait until tomorrow!
