Howto configure sendmail SMARTHOST with authentication??
I need to configure sendmail to use SMART_HOST so my ISP, Earthlink, will not block my SMTP outbound traffic. They told me the name of a SMTP server to use in my define SMART_HOST. However, that SMTP server requires a login. When I configure SMTP on a mail client using that server the authentication is username = my-email@earthink.net, and 'password'. Where do I put that info in the define. The only format I've seen is the one below:
define(`SMART_HOST', 'smtpauth.earthlink.net') How do I configure the login and password? Jim A |

Thanks, that worked great!
I have the latest version of sendmail, so the second part of:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=354488 worked for me. Just adding the line to /etc/mail/access and rebuilding the DB solved the problem. Thanks so much for all the help from everyone. Some of the mail things are a bitch to setup. Thanks again. Jim A. |
