Hi,
when I try to send email from my new system:

Distributor ID: Scientific
Description: Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon)
Release: 6.4
Codename: Carbon

with sendmail Version 8.14.4

I have this error message on maillog:

Note: server5 and localhost are the same machine.

This doesn't happen on this machine:
Distributor ID: ScientificSL
Description: Scientific Linux SL release 5.5 (Boron)
Release: 5.5
Codename: Boron

whit sendmail Version 8.13.8

what's wrong ?

Thanks for any help.

What is output of sasldblistusers2 command ?


Thanks

In both server, when I issue
/usr/sbin/sasldblistusers2

I have

listusers failed

And whats content in /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf file


Thanks

I'm sorry to answer now, but I was not in the office.

I do not have the file smtpd.conf, but I have in the old server (running correctly) under /usr/lib/sasl2 the Sendmail.conf

in the new server I have the same file under /etc/sasl2

Its content is:
pwcheck_method:saslauthd

I think I have found the issue:
when the email is sent from an address other than 127.0.0.1 : authorization is required even if ip is on the same machine.

How can I avoid to make request authorization for a given ip ?

You should add the IP you want to allow relay without authentication in /etc/mail/relay-domains
Then restart sendmail
