Fix your word wrap. Have you checked the Handbook? If not, start with Section 28.10 SMTP Authentication. Read that and follow the link to http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html where you'll find the rest of what you need to know. You're using sendmail as a client, so be sure to focus on the section entitled "Using sendmail as a client with AUTH". Fairly straightforward stuff, but there may be a lot to take in at first glance. Post back if you have any questions or need to be walked through any part of the process. -- George ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Or .mc, if you've already tweaked it before SMART_HOST is the upstream smtp server where all outgoing email is sent. lane ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Sendmail client configuration to connect to ISP's SMTP server
What configuration do I need to set in my freebsd.submit.mc in order to connect to the ISP's SMTP server? The ISP is blocking all the emails unless it goes through their mail server, so I need my FreeBSD box to connect to the ISP's SMTP server for outbound emails. The client also needs to be authenticated as well. Please help Thanks Afi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
