RedHat 72, Sendmail 8.11.6 and SMTP AUTH, part II

[Luciano Eicke]

Almost there!   Problem turned out to be I needed to list the virtual domains under /etc/mail/local-host-names.   Once I did that, I started receiving "user unknown" messages for every e-mail directed to a virtual account. Then I learned once I generated the sendmail.cf from the .mc file and not through linuxconf, my virtual accounts were no longer defined under /var/vmail. The /etc/mail/virtusertable was in charge of the job now.   Ok... problem solved ? Not yet. Now the authentication does not take place at all. If I telnet to port 25 and ehlo the server I receive 250 AUTH LOGIN PLAIN. But when I send a message with Outlook Express, no password is requested.   Im crying.
