Back in May 2008, there was a question on desktop-discuss asking whether
Solaris sendmail could be configured as an SASL auth client. The answer
from John Beck was "no, because [of] some issues with Solaris' libsasl
implementation that are preventing this work from moving forward".
So my question is whether this is fixed? And if not: what, if anything,
are people doing for a setup which includes:
1. a dynamic IP-based home system which wants to send email from the
command line.
2. a mail server with custom domain name on a static IP-based system out
on the web.
3. Sending mail from the soaltis box to my domain name will work,
because the mail server will accept mail as a destination.
4. However, if I send to [email protected], then a direct
connection to other.domain.com would fail with "relaying denied" if my
local dynamic IP address does not match the correct domain, and I cannot
connect to "my" mail server without auth because of (likewise) needing
to prevent open relays.
So do any home-based Solaris users just not send command line email
except to their own domain (which I may be able to live with, maybe). Or
is there a way to get SMTP auth to work?
Right now I have a static IP at home which I want to get rid of ...
Hugh.
