How do I tell sendmail to provide an authentication string when I ask it to send messages to my ISP (a cable provider)? They use PLAIN authentication, and I did not have too much trouble getting the base 64 string by snooping with Ethereal when I sent mail from Evolution, and can send out emails "by hand" or from an Expect script. The relevant part of my sendmail config file is: define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.broadband.rogers.com') 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 There doesn't seem any way to tell it what my userid and password for the ISP should be. I have tried reading various documentation, but haven't been able to find what is required.
