I have a server that runs OpenBSD 4.1, and a laptop running Windows. I want
to use Thunderbird on the laptop to send mail via the server. The laptop
connects from many different networks.

I would like to use port 587, since some isps blocks port 25.
I want to use my username/password to authenticate.
I want to use TLS to protect the password.

I get the dreaded 'Relaying denied. Proper authentication needed.'

The relevant parts of the mc file looks like this

dnl
dnl TLS/SSL support; uncomment and read starttls(8) to use.
dnl
define(`CERT_DIR', `/etc/ssl')dnl
define(`confCACERT_PATH', `CERT_DIR')dnl
define(`confCACERT', `CERT_DIR/CAcert.pem')dnl
define(`confSERVER_CERT', `CERT_DIR/sendmailcert.pem')dnl
define(`confSERVER_KEY', `CERT_DIR/private/sendmail.pem')dnl
define(`confCLIENT_CERT', `CERT_DIR/sendmailcert.pem')dnl
define(`confCLIENT_KEY', `CERT_DIR/private/sendmail.pem')dnl
dnl SMTP AUTH
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `PLAIN LOGIN')dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl

Googling gives a lot of references to SASL. Do I really have to go
down that road to do something as simple as this?
