Well, what did you put in /etc/mail/default-auth-info? It should look something like this: username username password hostname_of_sendmail_server_you're_trying_to_connect_to The username/password must be a valid account on the server you're trying to connect to. I'd use fetchmail to log onto the remote account just to be certain I hadn't messed up with a typo. I'm sure you've done it but I've been known to forget...run the m4 macro to rebuild sendmail.cf and restart the sendmail server. Also, you really did name the file /etc/mail/default-auth-info (dashes and not underscores, no capitals). -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
