The next field Athena release (due out in 1-2 weeks) will include
changes to make sendmail use authentication when relaying mail. (If the
initial attempt at relaying mail fails and the mail gets queued locally,
it will be sent with direct delivery when the queue is run, since
authentication with user credentials isn't an option at that point. But
the MIT outgoing relays are not used for direct delivery, so the lack of
SMTP authentication shouldn't be a problem there.)
