Even better: setup sendmail to do SMTP authentication.  Nice thing is,
RedHat makes this easy.  Just uncomment the"confAUTH_MECHANISMS" line in
/etc/sendmail.mc.  This way, if someone has an account on your box, they can
auth against that, and relay away!

...or is that what was meant by 'auth client'?
