Me neither ;-) I believe EXTERNAL should allow for SSL/TLS authentication (for example if client has certificate and is listed in access.db). But I'm not sure. I don't use it, I left it since it was there by default (only removed GSSAPI and two MD5 mechs since those are useless for me in this installation). Anyhow, removing EXTERNAL does not make any difference. I'll leave it out of the configuration for now, just to rule out posiblity that it has any influence on the problem I have. > Assuming you've got a stock Red Hat-esque sendmail binary that's > linked against the SASL libraries, and assuming that your > /usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf file points to saslauthd as the > password-checking mechanism -- have you started the saslauthd daemon? Yes, saslauthd is running and correctly configured. I've tested it with testsaslauthd, and it works. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
