Re: Auth SMTP with sendmail
Thanks for that Matt
Couldn't be simpler, it worked a treat.
Is it possible to have a list of user that are allowed to send through the
server with the default being no.
Thanks for your help Pete King

Yes. Assuming that the pop3 accounts are system accounts, it's very easy.
Install sasl-bin and some sasl modules:
apt-get install sasl-bin libsasl-modules-plain
and run sendmailconfig, which should detect the presense of sasl-bin and
enable smtp auth.
After sendmail reconfigures and reloads, connect to port 25 (presumably) and
issue a 'ehlo' and you should see what auth mechs are supported.
