I did edit the file /etc/mail/freebsd.mc and changed the line containing
the SMART_HOST to
define(`SMART_HOST', `me.point.ne.jp')
and
# cd /etc/mail/
# make stop
# make install
# make start
Everything went well...
I now have a r40e.point.ne.jp.mc and the all..
But, when I tried to send an Email to my yahoo.com account to test if it
is working...
Here is what came back to my InBox:
The original message was received at Wed, 12 Jan 2005 12:34:41 GMT
from localhost [127.0.0.1]
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<srotbull@yahoo.com>
(reason: 554 <srotbull@yahoo.com>: Relay access denied)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to vc.point.ne.jp.:
>>> DATA
<<< 554 <srotbull@yahoo.com>: Relay access denied
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable
<<< 554 Error: no valid recipients
It seems that I was not allowed to relay my email so I tried the
archives and then I tried reading the README file
at /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README
and found something about:
Providing SMTP AUTH Data when sendmail acts as Client
-----------------------------------------------------
I read a little and did what I understood:
1) created a /etc/mail/authinfo file with the following
AuthInfo:point.ne.jp "U:myusername" "I:myusername" "P:password"
AuthInfo:me.point.ne.jp "U:myusername" "I:myusername" "P:password"
Did a
# cd /etc/mail/
# make stop
# make install
# make start
No problems but still I can not send Emails using sendmail...
Any hints...Or am I going the wrong direction here and probably messed
my configuration badly now...?
