That's a good point..

But it's working now.. I don't remember what I did.. Perhaps I had  
forgotten to copy my .cf over the top of the existing one or restart  
sendmail, as starttls wasn't coming up in the supported options after  
ehlo.. So I had forgotten to do something..

While I'm on the topic, my server is allowing relay based on AUTH,  
which seems to override any other relay settings if they pass. How can  
you restrict the domains that an AUTHed client is allowed to send from?
