Hi all,Is there a reasonably up to date HOWTO on getting SMTP authentication working?
I don't know of any HOWTO, perhaps that's because there's not really much to document here. It's not clear what you're trying to do. You could mean either Courier using a smarthost for outgoing mail and authenticating to it. Or, having clients authenticate to Courier in order to gain relaying privileges. These are two completely separate things, and have nothing to do with each other. To have Courier authenticate to a smarthost, see "esmtpauthclient" in the courier man page. To enable authentication for relaying privileges, there are instructions in INSTALL, copied here: http://www.courier-mta.org/install.html#esmtpauth. The same code that authenticates IMAP, POP3, and webmail logins also does SMTP authentication, so if you can log into your IMAP mailbox, you can authenticate for relaying privilege, after enabling.
That's pretty much it.
