If there is a domain SPF record and a legitimate domain user can't send mail

SMTP AUTH doesn't mean you have to stop letting users authenticate through
POP before SMTP.
I set up SMTP AUTH for sendmail. It was painless - except for it took
me close to an hour to figure out where it looks for passwords. I
eventually had to dive into the source. It simply is not documented
anywhere. (It uses SASL, and configures SASL using an undocumented
config file Sendmail.conf - and then you check the SASL documentation
for how to add users - *after* checking the sendmail source to see
that sendmail sets the 'domain' for SASL to the $j sendmail config macro.)
