[KLUG Members] sendmail + SMTP auth

I'd try the obvious first... 'which sendmai' and delete that file -- re-do your 'make install' then and verify that 'make install' is actually over-writing the sendmail that you use.

Run a 'locate sendmail' too and see if you have multiple's in different bin directories too.  My guess is your distro stuck a copy somewhere like /usr/sbin/sendmail and the default source install is going to /usr/local/sbin/sendmail or something.
