------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- This post probably belongs in comp.mail.sendmail but I hoped to tap into some savy sendmail users here. First I'll say I'm not really interested in changing mta in case anyone wants to offer that advice. I want to use gmails' smtp server as Smart Host for my single user debian box running sendmail-8.14.4 I'm hooked up to an ISP called direcpath.tv that uses gmail smtp servers for its clients with addresses like [email protected] They have terrible to non-existent support and no support of linux/sendmail They use smtp.gmail.com But before I get into the extra complication of direcpath.tv overlay, and since I do have a normal gmail account I thought I'd first try to get the authentication for smtp working for that username. [email protected] So after dozens of small edits and restarts and makemaps ... cutting to the chase: /etc/mail/authinfo ,---- | Athinfo:smtp.gmail.com "U:root" "I:[email protected]" "P:??XX??"

I do have an account with them too.
