SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST and "Relaying denied"

Suddenly I am getting all my email returned with the following
error:

(reason: 550 5.7.1 <x@xxx>... Relaying denied)

This just started happening after I had been away for 4 days
without trying to send any email -- when I got back everything I
sent got that error.

I can "fix" the problem by removing the SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST from
my sendmail.rc.config, but this is not satisfactory since some
people's email systems won't accept email sent from me unless I use
a SMARTHOST (I think this is because I don't have a "real" hostname
and IP address, causing my mail to get killed by some spam filters).

I don't remember changing anything to cause this "Relaying denied"
to start happening, but perhaps I messed something up before I
left.

Anyone have a clue for me?
