Using sendmail as a client with AUTH
(This section has been written by Benji Fisher. Thanks!)

If you are using sendmail only to transfer e-mail from your local
computer to a mail server that requires SMTP AUTH, follow these
instructions. They assume that sendmail 8.12 or later, and other
software, is already installed on your computer. You should probably be
logged in as root to perform these steps.

1. Change directory to where your sendmail configuration files
(sendmail.mc and sendmail.cf) are located, usually /etc/mail/.
2. Create a safe subdirectory (suggested name auth/):

# mkdir auth
# chmod 600 auth


3. Create a file with your authentication information (suggested
name auth/client-info):

AuthInfo:your.isp.net "U:root" "I:user" "P:password"


filling in your ISP's mail server, your user name, and your
password. (Note: Earthlink, and perhaps other ISP's, requires your full
e-mail address as a user name.)
4. Generate the authentication database and make both files readable
only by root:

# cd auth
# makemap hash client-info < client-info
# chmod 600 client-info*
# cd ..


5. Add the following lines to your sendmail.mc file, filling in your
ISP's mail server:

define(`SMART_HOST',`your.isp.net')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5
CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info')dnl


6. Generate sendmail.cf:

# m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf


7. Restart the sendmail daemon, e.g., (this depends on your OS):

# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sendmail.pid`


Note: if FEATURE(`authinfo') is used, then the hostname in the map
entry must match exactly the hostname of the ISP mailserver as
explained in cf/README: Note: searches for domain parts or IP nets are
only performed if the access map is used; if the authinfo feature is
used then only up to three lookups are performed (two exact matches,
one default).
