Sendmail on FBSD server wont connect to remote user.

[Derek Ragona]

You don't need anything beyond a regular account.  If you can login to the 
box, you can get mail from it.

The error looks like you don't have the right auth method setup in 
sendmail.  So the password is coming in looking "garbled".  Check with the 
client software you are using for the way the passwords are sent.

You can also bump up the logging so you can see more details in the log 
file. You can add something like:
-O LogLevel=80
to your sendmail flags in /etc/rc.conf.
