If you actually want to use it for anything other than local delivery, = then you need to turn on authentication, which means installing the saslaut= hd port and then recompiling sendmail from source.

OpenBSD now ships with o= smpd, which seems to work quite well for this, and if dma can as well then = I'm very much in favour of it. dma can exactly do that :) while being smaller than opensmtpd (which is very very nice as well, this is the one I use when I need a full smtp setup :)) regards, Bapt --4mUolEm2oNas7DxE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlMLBDYACgkQ8kTtMUmk6EyyqQCgqRXPl2WW6gfzrBH99wDumWpa w7sAn0GMXXLZhaw+ii1zGKFl9LRRkOaa =Erm/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4mUolEm2oNas7DxE--
