That at least helps. Ideally you would just use your ISPs SMTP servers
though, instead of your own sendmail.

You can use sendmail with your ISP's SMTP servers too by making
sendmail a smart relay. I use this snippet with new installs to
achieve it:
{
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
sed -i.$DATE -e 's/^DS.*/DS'$SMTP_SERVER'/' /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
diff /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.$DATE
service sendmail restart
}
Yes, that is modifying sendmail.cf directly (slaps wrist with a
feather boa) but its the only config change I ever make, so it works
for me :)
