This should work but because you are only dealing with a single isp smtp

server it would be easier to not use lsearch and do something like:



begin routers



smarthost:

driver = manualroute

domains = ! +local_domains

transport = remote_smtp

# rogers

route_list = * smtp.broadband.rogers.com byname





begin transports



remote_smtp:

driver = smtp

# b.c.s.i. - we have to authenticate against this smarthost

# rogers

hosts_require_auth = smtp.broadband.rogers.com





begin authenticators



# b.c.s.i. - used to authenticate to smarthost

fixed_login:

driver = plaintext

public_name = LOGIN

# rogers

client_send = :account-name@??? :account-passwd



And just put your authentication info in plain text.



Cheers.
