It's really frustrating when you know something's screwed up and you
can't get the authority/permission to fix it.

Yeah, you have to use tmda-sendmail, which iirc is a wrapper to your
normal sendmail. There's something called tmda-ofmipd for
non-server-located clients:
http://www.tmda.net/tmda-ofmipd.html
"tmda-ofmipd is an async I/O based authenticated ofmip proxy for TMDA.
This allows users of any mail client capable of SMTP Authentication
(e.g, Outlook, Eudora, Mozilla) to "tag" their outgoing mail as
described in the Client Configuration section."
Don't ask me how it all works, or even *if* it works with your
configuration; I haven't used it.
Actually, now that I think about it, you wouldn't *have* to use
tmda-sendmail for keyed addresses; I believe you can use tmda-keygen by
hand and just paste in the address. It's been a while since I've played
with any of these features, so please take my explanations with a large
grain of salt.
