Hi

I have sendmail setup to require authurization using sasldb, but now what?

Do I need to add rules to allow the mail to pass once the auth is correct? Seems to bounce mail coming and going from the mail server now.

Any little pointers would be great.

Thanks.

After a client is authenticated you would have to add the client IP in the allowed hosts file for a particular time period say 10minutes.
I hope this helps .

Have a great day :)

Thats if you want to use a method like POP3 before STMP.

But thanks, I figured out what I needed to do.

audi boy i have smtp-auth support for sendmail and presently all system users are able to relay using the pam authenctication, how/what do i need to use sasld authentication so that only the users i specify are able to relay?

audiboy, that is pop3 before smtp, after they authenticate via pop3, they are added to the allow file so they can mail.
