SMTP authentication is rather new and not supported in all mail clients.

You're right, when I use lynn.danielson at clue.denver.co.us I send it 
eiher through Techangle's
or IHS's smtp server and specify the clue address as my from & 
reply-to.  I don't think I've
ever used the clue box smtp server directly unless I was doing something

on the box.  There
must be a way to set up user/passwd authentication on sendmail.  Are we 
going to be using
sendmail on the new box?
