Basically, almost all MTAs (Mail Transfer Agents, such as sendmail, postfix, exim) speak an enhanced version of the original SMTP protocol. ESMTP is what allows authentication, encryption, and more. > How do you tell sendmail to use esmtp as the email deliverer? sendmail will use the ESMTP protocol any time it connects to a server that says it supports ESMTP (when to telnet to the server on port 25 or 587, the banner line starts with "220 " if it supports ESMTP or just "200 " if it only supports the original SMTP with no extensions). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
