I am in the same boat now.  My provider just started blocking
outgoing port 25, so I have to send my outgoing mail through
their servers.  I am happy to whitelist almost any old
majordomo user. ;)

I did take a look at qconfirm. Unfortunately, I don't run
qmail.  I have trouble following the philosophy, as compared
to sendmail.  Old dogs and new tricks...
