I suppose that if one uses the ESMTP option, one has to install esmtp and  
configure it as needed.
as discribed in :  
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/send-mail-with-esmtp-for-a-simple-single-user-system/232
How do you tell sendmail to use esmtp as the email deliverer?

I dropped that line and  used a authinfo file as described above and it  
worked.
Probably is esmtp a simpler way to do it for different users and different  
domains?
