I am not a sendmail admin and generally try to avoid it where possible so I am not sure about the configuration file needs but you should be able to connect to the mail server and issue the ehlo command to see if it is active in your current running binary. After re-compiling and installing you will of course have to restart sendmail so it loads the newly made binary executable.
To check using telnet telnet IPADDRESS 25 220 your.hostname.here ESMTP Sendmail ehlo f Once you issue the "ehlo" command it should give you the output similar to this 250-your.mailserver.name Hello youraddress, pleased to meet you 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-PIPELINING 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250-DSN 250-ETRN 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-DELIVERBY 250 HELP There may be more or less stuff than this but the key you are looking for is the AUTH LOGIN PLAIN. It may show up with other things like CRAM-MD5 on the same line. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Berth Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 8:56 AM To: Woodchuck Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: sendmail SMTP-AUTH On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 8:20 PM, Woodchuck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Thu, 11 Sep 2008, Tony Berth wrote: > > Re-compiling sendmail probably translates to > > # cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail > > # make clean > > # make obj > > # make > > # make install > > > > I did create mk.conf but sendmail is located in: > > /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail Yes.

I did recompile and no errors showed up! Now, how do I verify that SMTP-AUTH capability is included? Any conf file I should look into? Thanks
