Thanks much for the updated link...unfortunately it stops at RedHat 9 and I had already followed those steps precisely. All is setup exactly as he lays it out in his howto. Now all in all, I think SMTP AUTH is working--HOWEVER--the crucial part of accepting and understanding the uid and passwd is still not going right. Here is my output when I telnet to localhost 25 Connected to fresca (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 localhost.localdomain ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.10/8.12.10; Sat, 20 Dec 2003 11:22:57 -0800 ehlo yosa 250-localhost.localdomain Hello fresca [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-PIPELINING 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250-DSN 250-ETRN 250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN 250-DELIVERBY 250 HELP The line is there that suggests I'm getting AUTH working--right? But when a client asks for authentication, the maillog sends: Dec 19 16:39:04 fresca sendmail[28036]: hBK0d4mS028036: [192.168.1.103] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA And the client is asked over and over to re-enter the username and password. Could this have something to do with pam or sasl instead of sendmail? Thanks!

However, I don't know anything about the Enterprise edition. I suggest you check out the following link. Rodolfo Piaz has been working on an updated howto for sendmail auth. It should likely do the trick for you! http://www.simpaticus.com/linux/sendmail-smtp-auth-howto.html -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
