hi Moke,

 

Just for yrs info, I did tried on Sendmail with RH7.1, it work....

The steps as below:

- set in sendmail.cf as below...

·          TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl ß enable smtp auth

·          define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl ß enable smtp auth

·          dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') ß enable listen to all network

·          dnl FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl ß only relay for resolvable domains

- restart yrs sendmail service

- you need to set on yrs email client, but depend on which email client that u use, eg. outlook express..

·          Setting in Outlook Express for testing

·          Click Tools à Accounts à Mail à select account à Properties à Servers à check My server requires authentication à Settings… à check Log on using à enter Account name & password

- then try to send thr your smtp, it will only prompted user id and password for the first time if it is match...

 

 

Hope this will help...

 

rdgs,

gary

Subject: Sendmail SMTP with Auth Howto??

Hi,

 

I've following the guide in www.sendmail.org on setting up

 

ehlo localhost
250-Fserver.amcpl.net Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE
250-DSN
250-ONEX
250-ETRN
250-XUSR
250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
250 HELP

 

The above mentioned was logged.  Proved that the sendmail's Auth Module was availiable, but sendmail is not doing any authentication???

 

sendmail.conf

C{TrustAuthMech}LOGIN PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5

O AuthMechanisms=GSSAPI KERBEROS_V4 DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5

O DefaultAuthInfo=/etc/mail/default-auth-info

#O AuthOptions=A
O AuthOptions=p,y

Have also tried AuthOptions with A and p,y.  And sasldb was created and Sendmail.conf of sasl was also configured.

 

Anyone have experience on this ??  Can you guide me to some idiot guide for this.

 

Thanks and regards

 

Moke
