I CAN send mail to <my_username>@<hostname_of_box>.com ... but if i send to an outside domain I get the error.
The AUTH section of my sendmail.mc file:
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
Try removing the "p" for the first line, like this:
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl
I believe the "p" parameter only allows encrypted authentication, and will expressly prevent SMTP AUTH unencrypted mechanisms like PLAIN and LOGIN unless the session is encrypted.
For most people, allowing PLAIN and LOGIN SMTP AUTH is no greater risk than they already have, since POP and IMAP *also* transmit unencrypted passwords. Hence, no damage done by removing the 'p'.
I think it should work with that one change. Try it and see!
Cheers,
A few answers to the folks that have been helping me:
I took the "p" out of the confAUTH_OPTIONS to allow for encrypted user/pass's, and I still get the same error. I tried that a few times in my barrage of tests with sendmail.mc :)
I moved the LOG_LEVEL to 15 and I got the following output from maillog:
Feb 4 12:41:59 localhost sendmail[8286]: j14Hf6sq008286: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=rcurts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, relay=wbar15.tmp1-4-8-050-019.tmp1.dsl-verizon.net [4.8.50.19], reject=550 5.7.1 rcurts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.
(not much help -- just the Proper Auth Required message really)
I did add saslpasswd2 for the user i am trying to log in as, no help there either.
When i telnet to my host on port 25 i issue "ehlo localhost" and "auth login". here's the output:

Note: I have both outlook and thunderbird set to "My SMTP Server Requires Authentication". Outlook tries once and sends me an underliverable email saying "Relaying Denied. Proper authentication required." Thunderbird just prompts me over and over for my password, until I hit cancel and then it all fails.
