You can let 'real' users send mail, they just cant do pop before smtp
authentication.
Which in essance means you would need to configure access for the hosts you
wish to relay for.
It beaks down to this:
For users whom you wish to use pop before smtp authentication (users who
occasionally send mail from outside of your network ie: from home) - set them
up a virtual user.
For users who are inside your network (or any other static trust worthy
network) and you know they dont "roam" from your network,
you could then configure sendmail access for them, and add them a 'real' user
account.
Obviously, if your an ISP and you provide dial-up's this isnt a problem, as
your dial ups are part of your local network, yet you may have some pesky
users who want to send mail whilst they are working over in the USA, then
they will want to roam, as you dont want your sendmail server to become a
promiscuous relay, then you want to authenticate.
So, virtual users for those who want to roam, 'real' users for those who dont.
As I have said, this will all be fixed shortly, and this email will be old
and refer to somthing that no longer exists.
But in the meantime those are the options.
Cheers,
Nigel.
