If comcast allows what you are doing it may be as simple as asking them to put
you into their reverse lookup table.
This is one option, but if it is a typical cable ISP, it's not likely to happen.


I am on comcast cable. I run sendmail to directly send mail to my
recipients.

Of late, some sites, eg. aol.com, are rejecting my mail, telling me I
should be using my isp's mail server.
Comcast can be a very linux hostile environment. I don't really want to talk
to them about mail. However, I would like to either relay through their mail
server or masquerade my mail to have their mail server's ip.

I have the Bat book on email, and am not afraid to use it, but, I am
confused a bit.

Any pointers, specifically clear examples, on how to do this would be
greatly appreciated.

See the section in /etc/sendmail.cf as follows:

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmail.yourisp.com

Set to your ISP's mail server name, and sendmail should try to forward thru it.

<Disclaimer>
There are probably better or more sophisticated ways to do it, or I may have totally misunderstood the question ;-)
