sendmail as a smtp auth client


Hi,
I'm using james as a mail server on a local machine.
I want sendmail to send messages out through james (via smtp).

So, basically i need sendmail to use a relay for all messages, and to use plaintext authentication if necessary.

Following various instructions i have put the following in my /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and /etc/mail/submit.mc

Code:
define(`SMART_HOST',`esmtp:localhost')dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo', `text -o /etc/mail/authinfo')dnl
define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO',`/etc/mail/default-auth-info')dnl
define(`confLOG_LEVEL', `15')dnl
then run: make -C /etc/mail

/etc/mail/authinfo :
Code:
AuthInfo:p4-7138.uk2net.com "U:daniel..at..netcase.co.uk" "P:PASSWORD" "M:LOGIN P
LAIN"
AuthInfo:localhost "U:daniel..at..netcase.co.uk" "P:PASSWORD" "M:LOGIN PLAIN"
/etc/mail/default-auth-info :
Code:
daniel..at..eddie.netcase.co.uk
daniel..at..eddie.netcase.co.uk
PASSWORD
localhost
i've tried lottttttsssss of combinations of things, but i cant get it to use authentication - it works if the person is a local recipient, but otherwise i get errors:


Code:
[root@p4-7138 mail]# mail -v d.perry@netcase.co.uk
Subject: test
test
.
