I have done some digging around with my problem. Here is some more information. I have the two lines in my sendmail.mc files: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, NAME=MTA-v4, Port=smtp')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, NAME=MSP-v4, Port=submission, M=Ea')dnl With those two lines I get the following error when using mailx: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/mail # mail -v jeff Subject: Test Message This is a test .

I had the following line in my old sendmail.mc file when I was using Gentoo: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587, Name=MSA, M=Ea') Because I want port 587 to require authentication and cron worked fine. But, when I put the M=Ea in the Debian version of Sendmail, I am not able to send mail using cron. Is it possible to me to require authentication on the 587 port, but still allow local mail on the server to work? Sorry for the lengthy e-mail. But, thanks for any help that you guys can offer me.
