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.

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. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
