sendmail smarthost auth

[paulfrottawa]

Hello

I'm setting up a mail server with sendmail from inside a jail. I was sending and recieving fine to my isp email account but I could send mail to my hotmail account.

Now I've been stuck trying to get my isp's smarthost to work.

I have tried [smtp.broadband.rogers.com]

and my mail is returned because of authorization.

I have set up that three different way's.

example

/etc/mail/access using this post 2

As of sendmail-8.12 "authinfo" is built into sendmail.cf so all you have to do is add your "AuthInfo" statement to /etc/mail/access

Insert into /etc/mail/access

Code:

AuthInfo:your.isp.net "U:smmsp" "I:user" "Password"

Use your ISP, leave "U:smmsp" as is, insert your user and password

Then
Code:

# makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access

Restart sendmail

Hope it helps

and this http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html

and this
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html#smtpclient

here's the return message
----- Transcript of session follows -----

so what are the contents of your /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc now (auth related part should be enough)?

This is my smtp server


telnet smtp.broadband.rogers.com 25

220 smtp101.rog.mail.re2.yahoo.com ESMTP
ehlo localhost

250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XYMCOOKIE
250-PIPELINING
250 8BITMIME

Solved

I had to convert my isp's email account and password.

http://base64-encoder-online.waraxe.us/

In my .mc I used the smart host that kept replying back and not the one rogers told me to use. witch was smtp.broadband.rogers.com to smtp-rog.mail.yahoo.com and enclosed it with brackets [smtp-rog.mail.yahoo.com].

In my access file this was my setup. Using a different password of course.

AuthInfo:smtp-rog.mail.yahoo.com "U:root" "I=cGF1bC5iZWxhaXJAcm9nZXJzLmNvbQ==" "P=ZnJlZWJzZA==" "R:rogers.com" "MIGEST-MD5 LOGIN"
plusx.ca OK

then make and then make install

Now i have a different message but at least i signed on and am sharing that with the forum.

Heads up
this is what rogers wants next.
