This should work but because you are only dealing with a single isp smtp
server it would be easier to not use lsearch and do something like:
begin routers
smarthost:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
# rogers
route_list = * smtp.broadband.rogers.com byname
begin transports
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
# b.c.s.i. - we have to authenticate against this smarthost
# rogers
hosts_require_auth = smtp.broadband.rogers.com
begin authenticators
# b.c.s.i. - used to authenticate to smarthost
fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
# rogers
client_send = :account-name [at] rogers :account-passwd
And just put your authentication info in plain text.
Cheers.
