Many ISPs have taken to blocking port 25 connections from dynamic IP 
addesses as these are frequently spam bots.  Instead, tell sendmail to 
use your ISP's smtp service as a "smart host" -- 
define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.your.provider') in sendmail.mc, generate a new 
sendmail.cf by running "make -C /etc/mail" and restart sendmail.  Your 
outbound email will be routed through your ISP's smtp service for delivery.
