It's a MH problem. A quick workaround is to remove or comment out the line :
Opauthwarnings

in your /etc/sendmail.cf and restart the mailer daemon. That'll stop them.
There is also a path in the sendmail sources for MH which to my knowledge
no-one has every really looked at integrating into the MH ``port''.
