Hi all,
I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 Stable on one of my servers and Sendmail 8.12.10. I'm trying to get mail auth to work so that my users can send mail (smtp port 25) through this server no matter which net they are connected to. I have installed cyrus-sasl-1.5.28_3 and followed the description given on this page http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html. Everything seems to work and all tests give the expected results.
I have also looked at this page http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html and done the initial test:
#telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

250 HELP
When I'm testing sending mail through this server (as smtp server) I use Eudora 6.1 from my WinXP PC. I always get relaying denied and it doesn't seem to check username/password.
Here's what my logfile and Eudora log says:
Oct 5 13:35:18 myserver sendmail[59394]: i95BZIow059394: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=my.ip.address.domain.com [x.x.x.x], reject=550 5.7.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.
I would be very grateful for any help here. I'm stuck and I don't know what to check next.
Try adding 'PLAIN' to the list of allowed authentications in your sendmail *.mc file, rebuild, and restart sendmail. Then test to see that it's advertised like you did above...
Hope that helps,
