Using Smarthost to relay email from qmail

Hi all! Crossposting this on the local LUG mailing list as well to see
if anyone locally can help, too J

I have an account set up at JangoMail to use them as my SMTP relay
service. However, I was wondering what I needed to do to set up QMail
to allow it to use them for relaying outgoing email using an username
and password (SMTP AUTH) to send any outbound messages?

Do you have the smtproutes file ?

as a root user# vi /var/qmail/control/*smtproutes*
add the following entry below in your smtproutes file

jangomail.com:mail.jangomail.com yourusername yourpassword

Syntax
[<email_domain>]:<mail_server_hostname_or_ip_address> [<smtp_auth_username>
<smtp_auth_password>]

There is no smtp authentication ability in original qmail.
You have to use appropriate patch for this.
The one I was using you can find at
