So after your help with getting me started initially.  I found another 
FAQ (http://www.cri.ch/linux/docs/sk0009.html) that gave me a step by 
step of how to set up smtp relay for sendmail.

The additional steps I took were as follows:

Added the following to the sendmail.mc file:
|* define(`SMART_HOST', `your-smtp-server')
FEATURE(authinfo)dnl*
*define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587')
define(`ESMTP_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587')*
Updated the sendmail.cf file
||* m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf*

Defined my account info in the AuthInfo file:
||* AuthInfo:<your-smtp-server> "U:<your-smtp-user>" 
"P:<your-smtp-password>" "M:DIGEST-MD5"*
Im not sure if the "M:" is correct since the server that I would be 
logging into would be over TLS port 587 and usually just does a login 
challenge and nothing more.  I don't know if I just need to specify login.

Updated the authinfo.db file
|||*| makemap hash /etc/mail/authinfo < /etc/mail/authinfo|*
|
Created a userdb for header rewriting
|*|user:mailname foo at bar.com|*
Created the userdb.db file
*| makemap btree /etc/mail/userdb.db < /etc/mail/userdb|*

Sendmail, Tested, and got the following output:
*[root at FC4FW mail]# /usr/sbin/sendmail -bv root at localhost
root at localhost... deliverable: mailer local, user root

[root at FC4FW mail]# /usr/sbin/sendmail -bv lovell.mcilwain at gmail.com
lovell.mcilwain at gmail.com... deliverable: mailer relay, host 
foo.barr.com, user user at foo.com
*
This would leave me to belive that this was successful from what I see 
in the output. But then I take a look at /var/log/maillog and find the 
following:
*
*Feb 14 18:37:04 localhost sendmail[12272]: k1EEWlrh009414: 
to=<lovell.mcilwain at gmail.com>, *ctladdr=<root at localhost.localdomain>* 
(0/0), delay=09:04:17, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=945174, 
relay=foo.bar.com [11.222.333.444], dsn=5.0.0, *stat=Service unavailabl*e
Feb 14 18:37:04 localhost sendmail[12272]: k1EEWlrh009414: 
k1ENb3vE012272: *sender notify: Service unavailable

*I thought the tutorial has gotten me closer to where I wanted to be but 
can anyone else tell me what else Im missing to get this to work 
properly?  The things I noticed off the top of my head were:

1.The authentication method is wrong but I can't see any documentation 
that states that the entry "M:login" will work.
2. It still looks like the return mail is showing as 
root at localhost.localdomain when I thought the usersdb.db file was 
supposed to take care of this.  Did I need to restart sendmail or re run 
the m4 command to update that there is now a usersdb.db in existance?

3. Could this be an issue of not specifying the port number correctly 
for sendmail to talk with the relay server properly?

I know this mail was a bit lengthy but any help is appreciated :)
