Are you trying to use Sendmail with SSL? or STARTTLS?  They are quite 
different.  Sendmail with SSL can be set up even with STunnel providing 
the SSL tunnel on port 465  to port 25.  If you are talking STARTTLS 
(which I'm not aware of Outlook making use of), Sendmail's config file 
has to have several sections installed.  I don't have the links handy, 
you can google for them or contact me off list tomorrow.
