...and you have to authenticate. A friend told me about ssmtp (Debian
has it in their distribution; I built it from a tarball). You have to
put your username and password in the Mutt config file in your home
directory.
I haven't tested to see if I could use other addresses with it, just
wanted something that would get me out using this address without being
blocked.
Verizon's supposed to block direct MX sometime real soon, but is
concerned about what this will do to support.
There's also another program that comes as a SRPM that built on my
machine, just haven't installed it since it requires that sendmail go
away.

ssmtp or nullmailer. Gnus obviously has an internal program that does
the same thing.
