Are you sure that this is everything he needs? From my experience with OpenBSD's Sendmail configuration, he needs SASL to authenticate to his smtps server. Normally, this would be a simple, compiled in option on most sendmails, and then, he could follow the instructions in the README file for setting up his configuration. (BTW, Sunnz, there are some good tutorials dedicated to just this if you don't understand the file format of the access file.) However, when I tried to do this at first, with my SASL enabled Slackware mail server, I ran into trouble. For some reason, my OpenBSD sendmail did not have the capacity to authenticate using SASL and normal SMTP AUTH. I was led to believe that this was the way sendmail was compiled on OpenBSD, and that I would need to recompile sendmail with new options to get the needed SMTP AUTH functionality. Is this true? In the end, I solved the problem by adding pure STARTTLS based certificate authentication on my server and added my client's certs to the list of allowable relayers. I like this way of working, but this also means that Sunnz can't use this model, because he doesn't have access to the configuration on his ISP's servers, obviously. -- ((name "Aaron Hsu") (email/xmpp "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (phone "703-597-7656") (site "http://www.aaronhsu.com";)) [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
