Let me guess, this is sendmail 8.11.[whatever] with default settings, on
redhat 7.1 / pcqlinux?

Take a look at http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section5.html#5.3.3 - or at least
see the redhat release notes first, before trying to install and configure
stuff.

This is basically a security measure set up by redhat to prevent people who
are not comfortable with sendmail from the consequences of running open
relays etc.

Any admin who does know to config sendmail can easily disable it ;)
