I don't think that sendmail is even aware of the password at all. It
just asks it's authentication layer (SASL I think it was) and gets a
yes/no authenticated back.
Come to think of it .. it would be a kinda poor design in authentication
to let other ppl know what the password was if any, also passwords are
only one way of authentication there are a lot of other ways ppl could
be authenticated. None of it is really useful to sendmail (and it's
milter) it only needs to know if the authentication was successful.
If sendmail does not know chances are slim that the milter hence
mimedefang would know.
PS: why would u want the password anyway ?
