sendmail refuses to auth against sasl/sasl2 keywords : sendmail sasl sasl2 realm authprox After you've installed and configured sendmail according to KB-259 and KB-208 you should be able to create users with saslpasswd2 and smtp-authenticate with these users. If it doesnt work there is one issue you should take care about: the sasl-realm !! if you list your users with sasldblistusers2 you will see that each user is stored as USER@DOMAIN. If you didnt specify an extra domain using the -u switch of saslpasswd2 then the hostname is used as defaultvalue. Now if sendmail sees itself with a different hostname, then problems start: Then you have to store the users using the sendmail-hostname or you have to enter the full realm in the sendmail-auth-dialog. example: hostname : myhost hostname as sendmail sees : myhost.local (find out with telnet localhost 25 and look at the first line) 1) saslpasswd2 -c smtp if you try to login to sendmail (for smtp-auth) with user = smtp then you will fail. You have to login as smtp@myhost !!! 2) saslpasswd2 -c smtp -u myhost.local now you can login to sendmail as user = smtp !!! serial : 370 If you found any nonsense in this entry or want to see important improvements, I would appreatiate to receive your comments at knowledge@goldfisch.at disclaimer : all these entries are part of my very private knowledgebase that I created while solving problems.
