Sendmail is failing due to my new ISP requiring SMTP authentication for relaying. I am using Suse 8 and see no provision for this in YAST2. Can someone tell me how to configure this?

TIA,

-Allen

Can you share your solution?

Solution here was editing the sendmail auth-info file to include a line like this:

AuthInfo:smtp.mydomain.net "U:user" "P=password"

After editing the file you must rehash the file- mine in Suse was as follows:

makemap hash /etc/mail/auth/auth-info < /etc/mail/auth/auth-info

Hope this helps...
