Bump!  Specifically:

I looked in the GUI for the email server and there are no RBLs defined,
and on the advanced tab, POP Authenticated Relaying is checked, but Enable
delay_checks is not checked.  What sendmail.mc file is BX using or is it
writing straight to sendmail.cf?  

I manually edited my sendmail.mc to turn delay_checks on, disable
greet_pause and enable zen.spamhaus.org and bl.spamcop.net, made my
sendmail.cf and it works.  I wonder if I made changes in the GUI if it,
because it's not picking up my changes to sendmail.mc, would wipe out my
changes?
