That's not *solved!*, that's just knowing what's wrong!  I want to use
oceanfree as my relay since I have my email account there.  I don't want
to have to change mail relay everytime I change ISP.  So, what I need to
solve this is a method to authentyicate with the oceanfree.net smtp server
using sendmail.
