The set up is identical to my laptop which work OK, I rechecked several times, I also redone the set up few times. The OS is F15 any of you good people have some suggestion? Vinny.

sure that you are using the same MUA and same authentication methods? ssl settings (STARTTLS or SSL on Port 465) are the same?
The OS is F15
the OS version is not relevant what is relevant is what MUA you are using (Thunderbird, Evolution, Kmail..)

You might (as I do) have to use SMTPAUTH on Port 587.
Joe, what is the exact command I would have to use ?

First, you check with your email provider to find out if the password is sent insecurely or encrypted and make sure what port it's using. Then, you go through Edit->Account Settings->Outgoing Server (SMTP) then select your server and Edit. Change the Port Number to the one you were told and set the various settings below it to match what you were told then click OK. The first time you try to send, you'll get a pop-up box to put in your password, and there should be a checkbox to Save it.

You need to give at least *some* information about your setup if you want a useful answer. At a bare minimum: are you seeing the problem with sendmail or with some mail client, and if so which one? Also, what authentication methods does the SMTP server support? Note that sending and receiving mail are two different things, and the fact that one works doesn't necessarily mean anything to the other.

Are you using Thunderbird to send mail ?
I find when you send a email a window will open for your email password and it is is hidden down behind any open window where you can't see it, and your email won't send until your SMTP gets it's email password.
