Is the smarthost relay taking non-authenticated mail on the SMTP port (not submission port)?

Yes.

I got qmail to build and work.

If all outgoing mail is now going through the smarthost, then it's correct.
You may also want to edit /etc/aliases and run "newaliases" to take
care of that "alias database out of date" message.


It's not going through the smarthost is the problem.

If you're editing the sendmail.cf file directly, it's most likely "DS"
for smarthost.   I don't recall if 4.3BSD was using some version of
sendmail 4 or 5.65, but if it understands "DS", you just say:
DSrelay.domain.com

No spaces, and restart sendmail.   If that doesn't work, I can dig up
the proper m4 macro to edit a sendmail.mc and process it into
sendmail.cf.
