It just occurred to me that Eudora's problem is probably SMTP AUTH (SMTP
Authentication). If you had a very old sendmail.cf, the only way for
clients to relay through the server was for them to POP (or use IMAP or
whatever) to check their incoming mail, which would update the relayers
database. Later, when the client tried to send outgoing mail through
sendmail, it would check relayers.db and allow relaying.

With the new cf file, sendmail announces to the client that it supports
AUTH (SMTP Authentication). Eudora's default configuration likely
accepts sendmail's offer, then fails. Your simplest solution (for the
moment, at least) is probably to edit Eudora's preferences and turn off
SMTP AUTH. If you get that to work, you can try other combinations.
(Does anyone else have any ideas? ...)

Good night!
