I made my Sendmail.conf look like that, but to no avail. When I attempt 
to log in I am still getting the relay denied error:

( from /var/log/maillog: )
Feb  4 12:41:59 localhost sendmail[8286]: j14Hf6sq008286: 
ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=rcurts at robincurts.com, 
relay=wbar15.tmp1-4-8-050-019.tmp1.dsl-verizon.net [4.8.50.19], 
reject=550 5.7.1 rcurts at robincurts.com... Relaying denied. Proper 
authentication required.
Feb  4 12:42:08 localhost sendmail[8286]: j14Hf6sq008286: 
from=rcurts at intrastudios.com, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, 
daemon=MTA, relay=wbar15.tmp1-4-8-050-019.tmp1.dsl-verizon.net [4.8.50.19]

My email client is requesting a "smtp authentication" too.
