if you want to configure smtp auth using sendmail you can try this one. it worked for me. :) http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html hope this helps... -----Original Message----- From: Veritas [mailto:veritas@cogeco.ca] Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 8:36 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Sendmail: Refusing Connections, and authentication/relaying Two prime issues for me on this one. First, and most crucial: sendmail seems to be set up and working fine; I can send mail from the local machine to other hosts. However, I haven't been able to convince it to accept SMTP connections from other hosts. cyrus-imapd seems to be set up and running fine, but the smtp port is, according to a friend, filtered and unavailable. I've been trying to scan through the sendmail configuration readme as well as the FreeBSD handbook, and will continue looking, but as of this time I haven't found a way to open it up to outside connections. FreeBSD 5.1, sendmail 8.12.9, no firewall presently running. Once I can get sendmail accepting connections, it brings me to point B: Is it possible to set up sendmail so that local users can send to wherever, but remote users have to authenticate to do so(and can basically use my server as a remote mail host)? I don't want to run sendmail promiscuously, but it would be very nice if I could convince it to allow authenticated remote users to send to anywhere. Or am I confused on the definition of "relay"? If it doesn't apply to people who use authentication, I'm already fine, and can just work on setting up secure auth. -BB _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ____________________________________________________________________ ** Get your free E-Mail account at WWW.DIGITELONE.COM **
