Sendmail SMTP authentication with SmartHost

I have recompiled sendmail 8.11.6 from RH 6.2 Updates, with the SASL packages for SMTP authentication. Sending email from anything that calls sendmail directly (like 'mail' from the command prompt, when logged on to the sendmail host), works fine to our "Smart relay Host" server, which recently switched to SMTP authentication.

However, when pointing to the sendmail server over the network with a Netscape mail client, it now asks for a username/password. Since all I want to do is use SMTP Authentication with the "Smart relay Host", how can I tell sendmail not to require authentication for any local network
relay connections?
