See also some old writes up I did.  I used it just the other 
day as I was mungeing my sendmail.mc on a new mailserver
      http://www.owlriver.com/tips/sendmail-tip/
   and
      http://www.owlriver.com/tips/smtp-auth/

I wrote this back during the pre-beta for RHL 8.0 which David 
and I tested for Red Hat, as part of a testing group, which 
explains its coyness (there was an NDA) as to the affected 
release version.  Remember to install sendmail-cf and m4 and 
the sasl elements [point 4 in the second piece]
