They will find your open mail relay and use it...and then you will have been implicated in a big SPAM thing...just close the holes. I use the popauth stuff with even the latest version (you just have to plug a few lines into /etc/sendmail.cf). You can read about it on one or two of the links offf sendmail.org speaking about version 8 anti-spam...I'm using it with the latest release...works great, authenticates every relay. I also use the access.db method to keep out know offenders and allow specific people use. I also use the /etc/localip file (from popauth) to specify that external mail gateways that should have permission (clients) to relay mail can.
