It's outgoing.verizon.net.  I was using sendmail and had the 
authentication set up for that (and still have my sendmail how-to from 
the sendmail maintainer).  Verizon does auth in plain text (I'm now 
using Mac OS 10.2.8 Mail program which has a hand-off routine built in).

You want to a line for sending username and password -- and you may 
need to have  Cyrus SASL enabled (had postfix running earlier with the 
help of person knowledgeable about postfix.

There is also a small mail hand-off program (smtpp or something like 
that) which will do the same thing.
