OK thanks. I am getting a message "[127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA" in my maillog. I thought that was authentication related but perhaps it isn't. Any ideas what may be causing that?
Regards
Cameron

This is sendmail *offering* authentication. It's not *requiring* it.
I want to configure sendmail so that it will only relay mail from localhost
and will not require authentication. How do I turn off authentication?
Any help would be appreciated
If you have FEATURE(`access_db') and a line:
127.0.0.1 RELAY
in /etc/mail/access, it should relay mail for localhost without requiring authentication (and these are default settings).
You don't have "M=a" or "M=Ea" in the DAEMON_OPTIONS line for your MTA, do you?
