That is a MS based SMTP gateway.  :)

I don't know whether you are using SMTP AUTH.  If you are not using that to 
send mail through your server, then you can disable it.  Do you require a 
username and password to send mail through your SMTP server?  If so, it 
means that you are using SMTP AUTH.  This is not POP3 before SMTP 
Authentication btw.

You will have to edit your sendmail configuration and disable SMTP AUTH in 
there.  The mail archive for this list has the instructions on how to do 
that.  I also posted a how-to on how to generate a new sendmail.cf for the 
RaQ3.  It should be similar for the RaQ4.

My list address is valid.  Your email was bounced as my mail server does 
not accept mail for this email address from incorrectly configured SMTP 
hosts.  You should be able to email me using my list address now.

The test was to verify whether there was a problem with your script.  The 
email got through to my mail server and we can conclude that your script is 
working correctly.
