I'm running into a problem with Sendmail trying to implement SMTP- auth. I"m running 8.14.5 and have saslauthd running under FreeBSD 7.0-R.

I don't believe I have starttls enabled (but I also compiled a version with it and have been testing it too - same problem) - just looking for basic auth, but am wondering if my configuration is not compatible with modern mail clients? I don't think I have any certs set up.

It seems an older version of Microsoft Outlook Express works fine with SMTP-auth with no problems, but Outlook 2010 won't work, and neither will Eudora (basic settings to not use encryption and use same uid/pw as pop3 account name)

When trying to send mail the server reports: "550 571 Relaying Denied. Proper authentication required."

Is there some config that I am missing? Why does it work with Outlook Express but not other e-mail clients?

my site.config.m4 has:

APPENDDEF(confENVDEF',-DSASL=2') APPENDDEF(conf_sendmail_LIBS',-lsasl2') dnl APPENDDEF(confLIBDIRS',-L/usr/local/lib/sasl2') APPENDDEF(confLIBDIRS',-L/usr/local/lib') APPENDDEF(confINCDIRS',-I/usr/local/include')

My sendmail.mc has:

define(ConfAUTH_OPTIONS',A') TRUST_AUTH_MECH(LOGIN PLAIN')dnl define(ConfAUTH_MECHANISMS',`LOGIN PLAIN')dnl

My /usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf has:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd

When I restart sendmail this shows up in the logs:

testing on the cmd line:

I am not using any certs or ssl right now - just trying to get basic auth to work. Anyone have any ideas?
