I am not sure if this is your problem or not; however, I use Postfix,
and am forced to use port 587 when sending to 'GMAIL', as well as my
own ISP. Anyway, to accomplish that, I have to have TLS working on my
system. That is rather trivial in Postfix, though I understand it is a
major PIA with Sendmail. In any case, you might want to investigate
that possibility.
