Hi, I tried to configure sendmail to send my mail over a smtp-relayserver which needs authentification. As it is described in the handbook, I installed cyrus-sasl and rebuilt sendmail.
I added: dnl set SASL options TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO', `/etc/mail/auth-info')dnl to my .mc-file and created /etc/mail/auth-info containing: login login password relay-server and did a chmod 600... Starting sendmail gave me: Feb 23 14:54:03 homer sm-mta[32122]: error: safesasl(/usr/local/etc/sa sldb) failed: Group readable file Feb 23 14:54:03 homer sm-mta[32123]: starting daemon (8.12.6): SMTP+qu [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 Feb 23 14:54:03 homer sm-msp-queue[32129]: starting daemon (8.12.6): q [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 in /var/log/maillog - so I added define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL', `GroupReadableSASLDBFile')dnl to sendmail.mc, which ended up in: Feb 23 14:56:12 homer sm-mta[32226]: error: safesasl(/usr/local/etc/sa sldb) failed: Permission denied Feb 23 14:56:12 homer sm-mta[32227]: starting daemon (8.12.6): SMTP+qu [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 As far as I know I don't really need sasldb to authenticate to a server, so I added an extra line in mailertable to test the relaying. Sending an e-mail to my work address ended up in: stat=User unknown Off course this user isn't known on the relay server. But what's wrong with my config? Thanks, Gernot -- Gernot A.
