Frontier server authentication with email server?

[David A. Bayly]

There's an authenticating  mail server that can and does handle 
Manila emails  (called sendmail unfortunately) in my public domain 
root, bayly.root. See <http://www.baylys.com:8080/help/>

>If no, is it possible to disable email sending without ill
