Hey all. I'm having a strange time getting mail out to the FreeBSD list. It was fine before, until I moved to a DSL connection. So far as I can tell, the only real difference is that my new IP doesn't resolve to anything. Thanks to zoneedit.com, however, my domain does resolve to my IP.
Here's what I have in sendmail.cf: OSTYPE(freebsd4) DOMAIN(generic) dnl undefine(`UUCP_RELAY') dnl undefine(`BITNET_RELAY') define(`confBIND_OPTS',`-DNSRCH -DEFNAMES') dnl define(`confTO_IDENT',`0') define(`confTRUSTED_USER', `cyrus') define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrus') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`M=u') FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains') FEATURE(`accept_unqualified_senders') FEATURE(access_db, `hash -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/access') dnl FEATURE(blacklist_recipients) FEATURE(local_lmtp) FEATURE(relay_based_on_MX) FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable') FEATURE(`nocanonify') dnl FEATURE(`always_add_domain') define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp:outgoing.verizon.net') MASQUERADE_AS(outgoing.verizon.net) FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) FEATURE(`authinfo', `hash -o /etc/mail/authinfo') . . . I'm sure it has to do with the fact that Verizon's outgoing mail server requires a username and password to do relaying. I know Sendmail can do this, but I can't understand the sendmail README info on it. I've gotten as far as the `authinfo' FEATURE, but I don't think I'm creating the authinfo correctly. I put the following entry in /etc/mail/authinfo: AuthInfo:outgoing.verizon.net "U:MyUserID" "P:MyPW" and I don't think I'm creating the hash correctly: makemap hash /etc/mail/authinfo but that just hung. Something's bogus somewhere and I can't quite find it. Until I can get this fixed, I'll probably have trouble from time to time with some of the more tightly configured MTAs, because I've commented out the last four lines there (dnl). Unfortunately, I think the FreeBSD list is one of them - so I'm stuck with Netscape for now. Any help is greatly appreciated.
