Inside these jails, I then use mail/nullmailer as a sendmail replacement, which logs on to my external mailserver, and simply drops the pr there just as if I'd use let's say alpine for sending mail. No sendmail SASL or other fiddling involved. I can detail my setup off-list, if you think my way of tackling this is an option for your port. Really boils down to just a few steps. MfG CoCo
