Although this is a valid comment, the original poster wants to configure his Sendmail as an SMTP AUTH 'client' which authenticates to the server of his ISP. Now that I have read the Handbook section in detail, this is not described in a step-wise manner.

I'll try to extend the current Sendmail chapter with the details about setting up an SMTP AUTH client with SASL2. If anyone wants to chime in and help me write a similar section for TLS, then feel free to contact me at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and we'll work something into the Handbook. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Sendmail Smarthost Auth
Well Giorgos, For starters the advice in that section is wrong for 2 reasons: pwcheck_method: passwd does not work on sasl2 and FreeBSD 6.X You don't want to use sasl1 for many reasons, you want to use sasl2 define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO', `/etc/mail/auth-info')dnl is deprecated. Fortunately the section has the link for the Sendmail auth which has better directions. Note: "... Notice: the default 8.12 configuration file causes the option DefaultAuthInfo to fail since the ruleset authinfo is in the .cf file. If you really want to use DefaultAuthInfo (it is deprecated) then you have to remove the ruleset. DaemonPortOptions (DAEMON_OPTIONS()) has now suboptions (called modifiers), one of which is `a'. This tells the daemon to require authentication for all connections to it. ..." I think it's been a while since you used that section to setup SMTP AUTH. Note also the poster wants to know how to make his Sendmail auth into another mailer, he doesen't want to setup his own system to accept auth connections.

You can start with: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html If this isn't enough, or you still have questions about the way to set up SMTP Authentication with Sendmail on FreeBSD, let me know.

Sendmail Smarthost Auth
I just got a new Internet connection through Verizon and need to be able to use a smarthost to send mail. All servers that I can use required SMTP auth and I need to figure out a way to have Sendmail authenticate with the smarthost. Is this possible and could someone lead me in the right direction? -Tom ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
