I haven't been able to get that to work with Qwest.

When I try to use their smtp server directly from my email client, they 
reject it because the sender address in the *body* isn't from their domain.

When I try to authenticate from qmail (like I'm doing with dyndns's 
mailhop), quest's server doesn't recognize the authentication method:
No supported AUTH method found, continuing without authentication.
63.231.195.31 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 553 relaying denied.
Giving up on 63.231.195.31.

Any idea how I can get qmail to authenticate with qwest's server(s)?
I'm running qmail-toaster.com's release of qmail, which includes the 
qmail-remote-auth patch:
Robert Sander - qmail-remote-auth

Thanks for the assist.
