Still not quite there. :-)

You can't enable SMTP-AUTH for all incoming mail at all, AFAIK, since
sendmail will only request AUTH for requests to *relay*. Sendmail will
not request AUTH for mail to be delivered locally.

If you *can* require Sendmail to AUTH everything and everyone that sends
mail to you, then you will only receive mail sent by your own users.

Cheers,
