Many. :-)
Check your mail log for clues.
Ensure you have a valid SSL certificate and key. Sendmail is touchy
about permissions on the key file. Try googling for
confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL and GroupReadableKeyFile.
Make sure saslauthd is configured and running.
Compile your .mc (m4) file with the macros distributed with the
version of sendmail you're actually running. This line suggests you're
not:
mdw1982.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.7/8.13.8
That's a first stab at things to try.
I fixed the version mis-match by installing sendmail-cf package and
recompiling sendmail.mc. saslauthd is running and conigured according to
your specs. So, I'm not sure what's missing.
