Slackware sendmail and authentication

[Charles Hallenbeck]

If anyone has some quick advice, I would appreciate it. I am helping a 
friend who uses Slackware with sendmail convert from an ISP who does not 
require authentication for outgoing mail to using verizon.net, which 
does require authentication. Aside from abandoning sendmail, what else 
should I do?

I solved this problem for myself once and had to install cyrus-sasl and 
recompile sendmail with an option to use that library. Is that still the 
path to follow? The user is only interested in using sendmail to ship 
outgoing to a smart host at verizon.net.

Any tips or shortcuts will be appreciated.
