Excuse me if this has been asked before...
I have configured sendmail to do unix domain socket lmtp calls. I then
tested the email (mail -v account) and got the error message in syslog
saying that I didn't auth and sendmail couldn't read /etc/mail/auth-info.
So, I assumed it didn't work... however, the mail still went through. When
I did add the auth info to auth-info, it worked fine.. no errors
The error messages I received (after I entered data into auth-info... it was
the wrong username/pass, but the mail still went through!)..
Sep 7 19:43:09 mail1 lmtpd[1017]: badlogin: [unix socket] PLAIN
authentication failure [unable to find match for user]
The question is, why did it say I couldn't authenticate with the unix socket
and still let the mail through? It seems that despite the authentication
failure, it still works.
Sendmail is compiled with STARTTLS and SASL
Cyrus is compiled with SASL
Thanks.
