I'm including this on the list since I think there will be others who may find it useful. Mine is setup like this: (I'm going to assume you know to use m4 to compile sendmail.cf) 1) In sendmail.mc ( Some of this may not be necessary... I've placed asterisks around those I think are critical ) (I masquerade as the host that supplies my email pop service (newsguy), I don't use comcast email much. you may be able to ignore masquerading) divert(-1) divert(0) dnl include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')dnl VERSIONID(`$Id: sendmail.mc,v 1.17 2008/05/19 14:28:16 root Exp $')dnl OSTYPE(linux)dnl define(`confDONT_EXPAND_CNAMES'.`True')dnl *** FEATURE(`authinfo') dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS',`LOGIN PLAIN')dnl define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.comcast.net')dnl *** dnl # [HP 05/16/08 17:22 define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587') ]dnl dnl Per H Message-ID: <g0kmsb$2dd...@hedeland.org> comp.mail.sendmail dnl define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587') define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/procmail')dnl MASQUERADE_AS(`newsguy.com')dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`local.lan')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(relay_hosts_only) dnl relay exact hosts in /etc/mail/relay-hosts dnl FEATURE(`always_add_domain') dnl GENERICS_DOMAIN(`local.lan')dnl define(`confTRUSTED_USERS',`reader defang apache bacula mysql')dnl MAILER(procmail)dnl MAILER(smtp)dnl 2) using authinfo is somewhat explained in the README at /usr/share/sendmail-cf/ Mine looks like this [with some things disguised with MYUSER, MYPASSWD] (Should be all on one line... in case mail formatting breaks the line) cat /etc/mail/authinfo # [HP 02/04/06 23:14 NOTE make sure to makemap hash authinfo < authinfo] AuthInfo:smtp.comcast.net "U:MYUSER" "I:myu...@comcast.net" "P:MYPASSWD" "M: LOGIN PLAIN" # end authinfo Heed the comment about makemap or authinfo won't work. I'm not sure this is necessary anymore but you should probably restart sendmail after using makemap.. and definitely restart anytime you recompile sendmail.cf With those asterisked things in place my mail works fine. I can relay mail from any of my home machines thru my gentoo host with the sendmail.mc shown as well. So the other machines are pointed as my gentoo box as smart host.
