Summary: SMTP< 530 Authentication required

Details: Hello fetchmail developer team

I have a FC8 Sendmail server on the local intranet. Before I anabled anti-relaying on my server fetchmail was working fine. Now I required smtp authentication. I have enabled saslauthd service. Now I m getting 
an error ( fetchmail SMTP< 530 Authentication required )  while fetching the emails from remote server to local server. Fetchmail retrieves the email form the ISP pop server but it is not delivaring to local server it is giving above mentioned error. 

Please help me inthis matter.

This is not a bug, but an operator error. Please:

1. update to a supported version of Fedora Core. I don't care about unsupported versions, and chances are your FC8 is vulnerable to various flaws.

2. read the manual page. Current versions of fetchmail support this:

   ESMTP AUTH
       fetchmail  also  supports  authentication  to  the  ESMTP server on the
       client side according to RFC 2554.  You  can  specify  a  name/password
       pair  to be used with the keywords 'esmtpname' and 'esmtppassword'; the
       former defaults to the username of the calling user.
