To round out the discussion and for any googlers who may turn up this thread: My problem was caused primarily by a nasty little typo as seen above in /etc/mail/authinfo Athinfo should be Authinfo <the `u' was missing>. Per H on comp.mail.sendmail and Mick on gentoo.user spotted the foible. For the record it appears that this line: include(`/etc/mail/tls/starttls.m4')dnl In sendmail.mc is all that was needed in my case. I'm sure it depends on certain ssl related packages being installed that put the files under /etc/mail/tls in place. For my setup.. once I managed to get Authinfo spelled correctly that `include' line must be present or it fails. I can now send outgoing mail thru gmails smtp servers but I find a nasty little trait there... that server rewrites the From: line to the email address of my google account, regardless what I put there. I've since switched to another of my providers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
