[216.145.48.35], dsn=5.1.2, stat=User > unknown ----- Actually, it's even more lame than not generating a new sendmail.cf file with m4 (which by the way, has changed in 8.0 - sendmail.cf by default is in /etc/mail) The authentication mechanisms that you were asking about were in your sendmail.mc all along. Then you are wondering what is wrong with your ability to send mail but you don't even bother checking dns before posting... # nslookup sbcglobal.com Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases. Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing. Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 ** server can't find sbcglobal.com: NXDOMAIN sbcglobal.com doesn't exist - you can't send mail there. yahoo is telling you that - still have yet to see what any of this has to do with pacbell.
