I never figured out how to make that work when the ISP's mailserver requires SMTP AUTH. Not that I tried very hard, I suppose.

Is there a way to do it?

Of course - sendmail is infinitely configurable. The tricky part is meshing your changes with the pre-configured bits of fedora. This would be a starting point:

but look through the commented out parts of your existing sendmail.mc for the locations of the .pem files etc, if you use ssl.
