e-mail alerts configuration

Hi guys,
I'm trying over here to make e-mail alerts to work one way or another but I'm running only into problems and searching for solution didn't help too much.
So here's the story:
I've installed hyperic OSS version on a ubuntu 7.04 server edition.
I have a special mail server...let's call it mail.ba.com
Now...I've changed from jboss-service-events.xml file to look like this:

<property name="mail.store.protocol" value="pop3"/>
<property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtp"/>

<!-- Change to the user who will receive mail -->
<property name="mail.user" value="me@ba.com"/>

<!-- Change to the mail server -->
<property name="mail.pop3.host" value="mail.ba.com"/>

<!-- Change to the SMTP gateway server -->
<property name="mail.smtp.host" value="mail.ba.com"/>

<!-- Enable debugging output from the javamail classes -->
<property name="mail.debug" value="true"/>

Now when I trigger an alert I see this in server.log file:
2007-09-06 16:00:53,166 INFO [STDOUT] DEBUG: getProvider() returning javax.mail.Provider[TRANSPORT,smtp,com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport,Sun Microsystems, Inc]

2007-09-06 16:00:53,573 INFO [STDOUT] 250 rblsmtpd.local

I want to mention that I just installed sendmail on the server without any further customizations...
Something weird:
if you look at 2007-09-06 16:00:53,469 INFO [STDOUT] MAIL FROM:<hqadmin@HypericIP!!!>
this is weird since I know I changed that address to me@ba.com but apparently not and I can't find from where to changed that.
Can someone please please look into this and give me a solution...or using my existing mail server or making a new one on this hyperic machine only for this?
many thanks,
Chris

oh forgot to mention that my existing mail server - mail.ba.com is using SMTP authentification but I don't know how can I specify that... 😞

HQ doesn't do SMTP Auth, AFAIK.

Also looks like Sendmail is set up to use RBL. You really should finish your Sendmail config first.

😞 nasty. I'll have to configure sendmail server then on this machine. Anybody more ideas/suggestions?
