sendmail refuses to relay by default, you need to configure yourself an
access database to tell it which hosts it should allow relaying from:
echo "172.16 RELAY" > /etc/mail/access
makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart
change 172.16 to the subnet your workstation is on; edit the file if you
need more than one.
there's a FAQ which mentions the access database feature somewhere -- i've
not found any more explicit docs though
