Hello list! I have a few Debian systems at home, and my own domain name with e-mail set up (that's the domain I'm posting this from). The SMTP server that sends mail outwards (I'm running Sendmail on Etch) uses SMTP authentication to avoid being an open relay. I use GSSAPI authentication with krb5.
What would be the best way, then, to use programs such as reportbug on machines other than the SMTP host? The problems I'm running into are the following: * Normally, the exim4 installation has remote forwarding completely turned off. * To try and solve that problem, I have tried to turn on smarthost forwarding, using my normal SMTP server as the smarthost, but that does not work, since the internal Exims cannot authenticate to the server. How best to solve this? I have found the `--smtphost' option for reportbug, but I cannot find whether it can use GSSAPI authentication, and I don't want to report a dummy bug just to test. Does anyone know? Besides that, is there a way to get the local Exim to authenticate properly to the smarthost (using GSSAPI)? After all, there are lots of programs aside from reportbug that use the local MTA program to send mail. Thank you for your attention!
