Thanks Mark, Gerry, Rodolfo, Hattie and Kevin. These were all very helpful.
I now understand the instructions better on the original site I was pointed
to.  

Also, Gerry, your article on linux step-by-step was great!  This put it all
very clear and now my auth is working great.  If anyone else would like to
read the article, go to www.linux-sxs.org and do a search for "sendmail
authentication" to find the article labeled Internet Serving (Linux
StepByStep.  It's a great explanation of the hows and whys of the sendmail
configuration. 

I appreciate the help!
Corey

This is from my configuration using POP3 and Sendmail.  It will require you
to setup SMTP authentication in their mail clients, but it's a lot better
than the POP before SMTP hacks that I was able to find out on the net.

TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN')
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')

I don't remember where I found this at, but I do remember it took me about a
week worth of web searching to find it.
