You were a victim of a few new anti-spam facilities in sendmail.

sendmail does not by default allow to be used as a relay by any machine,
which is what the mac is asking for. You should add your mac (or your whole
domain to the set of host where relaying is permitted.

For the latter you could add the line

RELAY_DOMAIN(`lbl.gov')dnl

to your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and say
   sendmailconfig
as root. Never mess around directly with sendmail.cf.
