Most newer Linux distro's use Postfix. It's simple to setup Postfix to
use SMTP AUTH to send email. You need to figure out why the primary
mail server is rejecting the emails and go from there. Contact me off
list if you want more info. <br>
<br>
I think I have a quick how-to I wrote for myself on how to set Postfix
to use SMTP AUTH when sending email.<br>

I'll have to look into that smarthost deal as there is no reverse DNS at
this time (my upstream's server times out).

<pre wrap="">Does your ISP provide an SMTP server you can use? If so, it's usually
easiest to set that up as a "smarthost" and tell sendmail to send
through that server. If this isn't an option, you need to make sure
that your asterisk server has a valid publicly-available DNS record
(and reverse DNS). That's most likely the reason the remote server is
rejecting these emails.
