Hi, Thanks to all that have assisted. Tested with outlook express. Authentication works fine with PLAIN and LOGIN. But just one strange thing. MUA will authenticate when smtp server was set to authenticate. If MUA's smtp server authentication option was not selected, the mail will still go thru without authentication. Still don't understand why as by default, it should reject outgoing mail if "smtp server requires authentication" option is not selected.

Please note these lines should be set in sendmail.mc (not cf).

In Eudora, each account or personality has an "Authentication allowed" checkbox (on by default, a much better choice) that does the same thing. Let us know if it works, Moke. -- Rodolfo J.
