Re: Mail relaying

[Support T. <we...@cc...>]

Thanks for the reply
Even after all this time Sendmail has no pop before smtp?
It would appear that the following (added below) taken from sendmail.mc has some kind of authenification, or is this just a wall I'm going to knock my head against?
Would qmail or postfix be easier. I've always disliked qmail because its logging just plain stinks but I believe it has smtp built in. Thanks for the lead, I'll do a search on drac and see where that takes me.

define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl
dnl #
dnl # The following allows relaying if the user authenticates, and disallows
dnl # plaintext authentication (PLAIN/LOGIN) on non-TLS links
dnl #
dnl define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl
dnl #
dnl # PLAIN is the preferred plaintext authentication method and used by
dnl # Mozilla Mail and Evolution, though Outlook Express and other MUAs do
dnl # use LOGIN. Other mechanisms should be used if the connection is not
dnl # guaranteed secure.

dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
