If all you want to do is send email, from your host inside the BellSouth 
network, then all you need to do is setup sendmail to use 
mail.bellsouth.net as a SMART_HOST in your sendmail.mc like this:
     define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.bellsouth.net')
There should not be any concern wrt Port 25 blocking done by BellSouth. 
  If you want sendmail to receive inbound email, from outside the 
BellSouth network, then BellSouth's practice of blocking Port 25 will 
affect you and you will likely want to move to a different ISP.
