[newbie] Sendmail SMTP Auth in Mandrake
Hello! I've just switched over to Mandrake from Redhat 9. My Redhat box was running Sendmail with Authentication turned on (so I don't have to re-configure my laptops every time they leave the office and not to be an open relay). I have configured my sendmail.mc / sendmail.cf files exactly the same way with the following lines--which is what I understand you must do to have AUTH. However, I'm not getting any AUTH and I'm not sure why. Is there something else that needs to be added in somewhere with Mandrake? Or perhaps there's a setting I'm unaware of that is specific to the Mandrake build? Below is my sendmail.mc file (sans most of the commentary). Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Corey Sometimes on a new installation, if something borks, shorewall or the iptables scripts will block stuff that should not be blocked. What I suggest is that you run service iptables stop and thus set your iptables chains to vanilla. Then reevaluate and retest your Sendmail situation. It may not amount to anything but it will tell you were the problem is *not* at the very least.

RE: [newbie] Sendmail SMTP Auth in Mandrake
I tried disabling the firewall and iptables, but still no luck on AUTH. I CAN send mail from my local network currently. It's just outside the network I can't do anything now. I can't get authentication to work inside the network, either. If anyone can tell me what I'm missing, that would be great! THANKS!

Corey I hate to ask questions like this, but there's no other way. Have you checked your hosts.allow and hosts.deny for the proper permissions on both ends, firewall and clients? Understand that I am working my way to targeting your configuration as the culprit. We have to eliminate the obvious items first however. One more question. Well two. Are you familiar with how the hosts.deny and hosts.allow complement each other? Also...are you running the same distro across all machines, server and clients?
