Try editing the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file and search for a line that starts with LogLevel. By default, IIRC, it's set to 9. Change this to 25, and from /etc/mail type make restart. (Don't make/make install as you're loglevel will be reset. Try sending an email. As soon as you're client is done, go to the server and type: # tail -n 50 /var/log/maillog You should see some information regarding the authentication and if there were any errors or not.
