Hi, I think I had the same problem solved the other day on this list, here
is the mail I got:

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.

This worked fine for me, I use sendmail on a debian box though. I guess it
is not different on slackware. Goog luck, Stefan
