it's fiddly because you would need to install cyrus-sasl and recompile a special version of sendmail with different build options in order to use it. I'd generally recommend against it (it's particularly "fun" at upgrade time). some MUAs have direct support for smtp-auth, for example if you use Mutt, the -sasl flavour lets you do this: set smtp_url="smtps://user:passw...@host/" or ... "smtps://[email protected]:passw...@host/" if you need this in an MTA you'll probably have better luck with some other one, say OpenSMTPd (recommend you track -current if you do this, it does work but is still beta code, you need to keep an eye on it and watch out for sharp edges ;-) or something like Postfix. (you still usually need cyrus-sasl, but it avoids a special build of some standard part of the OS, which is usually a good thing). _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
