Does you ISP not provide you with a secure SMTP server you can
authenticate to?  If they don't, switch ISPs or use the Gmail one.

For example, I have exim on my laptop setup via a ssl tunnel to
Internode's secure SMTP server.  Exim authenticates for for me and it
just works.  I'm sure sendmail can do similar.

Therefore no matter where I am there's no need to switch anything (as
long as I pay my ISP bills :)
