I ´ve just finish installing Sendmail, and every seems to be fine, except for the Smtp Auth.

Where I do this: telnet myshost.com 25
and then : ehlo localhost

I get:

250-localhost.localdomain Hello othethost.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (may be forged), pleased to meet you
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES

250-SIZE
250-DSN
250-ETRN
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
250-DELIVERBY
250 HELP



as you can see the Auth has been configured, and it´s seems to be working,
but when I try to send an E-mail with Outlook express with out smtp auth, I can do it any way, so there is something wrong with the configuration or something, and I can´t find de problem,

I have fedora core 2
sendmail version: 8.12.11

sendmail.mc

Sendmail.conf

I hope someone can Help me

Best Regards

Thomas

Hello tomcontr,

I am very new to Linux, and have been working my way through "Sendmail" configuration myself. I am not crystal clear on what your question is; however, as I was examining your "sendmail.mc" file, I noticed that you have configured sendmail to "only listen on the loopback device 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices." If you want to accept email over the network, comment this line out.

I have used and arrow to indicate the section I am talking about.
