Broken sendmail

Some how I messed my sendmail.mc up. So I am asking if anyone out
there has a working sendmail.mc file that supports smtpauth doesn't
open me up for relays =)

I'm running debian stable, so this needs to be off of a debian box,
for some reason the sendmail.mc files from sendmail.org wont work for
me.

He is what the problems that I am having are.

1) SMTP AUTH/SASL wont authenticate.. Everything looks right, but if I
look at the log files when someone tries to authenticate, it says a
possible SMTP hack has occured. *shrug*

2) I can't send mail from the local machine. So if I log into this
box, and try to send mail via mutt or ever directly through sendmail,
it sits in a queue wiht a defered error also says 127.0.0.1 connection
refused, but I can telnet to 127.0.0.1 on this box and hand enter an
e-mail and it sends just fine. This has something to do with teh
/var/spool/mqueue-client and MSP queue.

If anyone has any ideas, or a working debian sendmail.mc, I would
really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

-Steve


P.S. Please don't reply just to tell me to switch MTA's I've been
using sendmail for years, and have had very little problems with it.
This problem occured when I did the last security update for sendmail
via apt-get.
