Sendmail (as MTA) and the IMAP server (probably uw-imap) are too
completely different things. If one works the other does not have to
work too in consequence!
The configuration format for Sendmail from RH9 to FC1 did not change, as
both come with Sendmail version 8.12.x. Your authentification problem
may come from a not correctly setup authentication: Sendmail on FC1 uses
by default the saslauthd (/usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf). So this daemon
has to run -> chkconfig --list saslauthd -> service saslauthd start.
Dependant on which AUTH mechanisms you are using a different sasl2 setup
is needed.
Your firewall has to be open on port 25 too! Otherwise it can't work. At
least Sendmail can not talk with other MTAs to send or receive mail. By
default TLS encrypted connections to Sendmail too run on port 25 and not
465. You can that change in sendmail.mc if that is desired (MSA daemon
options).
