ADSL support has upset my apple cart as far as outgoing SMTP mail is concerned to my regular smart_relay ISP where my mailboxes are located..
Fetching mail no problem using getmail connected as dial-up or ADSL.. Sending mail no problem, dial-up, but via ADSL I've run into the SMTP AUTH problem used by Verizon's outgoing smtp server.. Have fetched at least ten HOWTO's, that are mainly addressed to server or combination server/client support.. I'm bogged down. <g> I need some input as to what has worked for others, rather than try so many.. Slackware comes bundled with Sendmail 8.13.X which I can use but find Sendmail 8.11.4 is better for my use even though it's not as "secure." I've never had a problem with 8.11.4, running as a single user system, rather than a server.. Knock on wood, eh? One first query is; I wonder if Cyrus-sasl is needed as a client only, etc.. (I might be using Slackware 10.2, 2.4.31 if that helps.) TIA and Happy Holidays to all.. -- Hal.
