I had Mailman working fine with Sendmail up until I enabled SMTP-AUTH in Sendmail. The messages get to Mailman but are not delivered to the list members anymore because Mailman does not authenticate. Disabling SMTP-AUTH is not an option as we are an ISP and have users that require email on the road and such, and we do not wish to be blacklisted as an open relay.

There aren't any messages in the archive that deal with this specifically, so my question is what EXACTLY do I have to do to get it to work with SMTP-AUTH. I have included my sendmail.mc file for review. I am running Fedora Core 1 with the latest stable versions of Sendmail and Mailman. Mailman is set to deliver to SMTPdirect if that is any help.
