Server :: Sendmail SMTP AUTH Errors?
Aug 3, 2011
I am a bit of a linux newbie, but have been gradually teaching myself how to set up Sendmail 8.13.8 on a CentOS system to handle our MX mail for various domains we own on our local server. Configuration has gone well so far, except I cannot seem to get Outlook to authenticate with the SMTP server and I must readily admit to some large gaps in my knowledge. For testing purposes, I have tried to authenticate using Telnet with the following results:
Code:
220 my.domain.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8; Wed, 3 Aug 2011 14:27:00 GMT
ehlo my.domain.com
250-my.domain.com Hello mytelnethost.btcentralplus.com [109.xxx.xxx.xx], pleased to meet you
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES

I'm hoping someone here can help, as I've been beating my head on the wall for a week now with little advancement. I've found a number of tutorials on setting this up, however none of them have gotten me 100% of the way there. Here's my situation: home-based Fedora server (Core 8), running sendmail 8.14.2-1. Connecting to hosting company's smtp server over port 587, to bypass Verizon's blocking of port 25.
My /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file looks like this (comment lines removed):Quote:
divert(-1)dnl
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp2.datarealm.com')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 PLAIN')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash -o /etc/mail/auth/client-info.db')dnl
define(`RELAY_MAILER', `esmtp')dnl

I got one last stop until I've fully configured my Sendmail server. I want the server to verify which address the sender is using when sending mail. Even though authenticated via SMTP AUTH or mailing from an IP listed as RELAY in access.db, the user should not be able to use whichever address he likes.
Ideally, I would like Sendmail to use a file that looks something like this: Username sername@Server.org
where, if logged in with Username, the only accepted sender address is Username@Server.org. As of now, Sendmail just verifies that the sender domain exists and then relays which I don't like. This also applies to a lot of other servers as well... for example in the cases where ISPs have blocked outgoing port 25 and let all their users use their SMTP server. I assume, if they don't use SMTP AUTH which is not the case where I am, that they have their entire IP range listed as RELAY and therefore, using my ISPs SMTP when in their net, I can send mail as whomever I like as long as the sender domain exists.
I've had a look at filters but haven't found any suitable and I assume that this might be realised through a Ruleset or something. What do you think? Have I missed something making this a really stupid suggestion or am I on to something? It would make my day

I have a server "test1" in domain [URL]. I installed sendmail on it. I have another mail server "mailsrv" installed in [URL] which is my primary mail server and contains all accounts and mailboxes. Now when I send email to [URL] from [URL] it sends successfully. But when I try to mail to user1@abc.com it tries to search user1 in [URL] but I want it to forward this mail to mailsrv.abc.com over SMTP port. Delivery will then be taken care by [URL]
My log shows following
Code:
Apr 9 18:37:06 test1 sendmail[7512]: o39Db6Hs007512: to=user1@abc.com, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30047, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (o39Db6Il007513 Message accepted for delivery) It should not go to relay=[127.0.0.1], it should go to relay=[10.10.10.1]

It seems my sendmail (running in slackware 13.0) cannot send out emails correctly. I guess I need to tell it what is the smtp server to use. And, I heard, gmail's smtp server is available to use for this purpose. How to configure my sendmail this way?

I've got a server set up with Debian. The problem is that my ISP doesn't allow usage of port 25 (as I understand a lot of ISP's don't).I have PHP scripts hat use the mail() function to send e-mails through the Sendmail application.So, my question is: How can I relay messages sent to sendmail to an external SMTP server (like Google Mail, for example)? Would this be easier to do in the PHP configuration, or on the Sendmail side of things?I've used PEAR extensions in PHP to achieve this before, but scripts downloaded from the Internet generally just use the basic mail() function, and it would be a real pain to modify them all.

Sendmail on the RHEL server is set up to forward email to company internal mail server (via SMART_HOST). This has worked fine for years.
From the server, doing a sendmail dave@company.com, the message is sent immediately. No problems - and no change here.
From the server, doing a sendmail roberto@compania.com (compania is the part of the company in Mexico) causes a 2m40s delay before sendmail does anything.
No packets are sent until after 2m40s wait. Message is always sent after the delay. It is not clear what the server is waiting for.
For *each* user in the @compania domain specified in sendmail command, an additional 2:40 is imposed before email is sent. Email is always sent after the n*2:40 sec delay.
Sending email to some_name@AnUnusedDomainNameThatDoesntExist.com is processed immediately - with a bounce email received in a couple of seconds.
Q: How do I determine where this 2m 40s delay is introduced?

I am setting up a CentOS box as a NAT firewall that needs to also send mail. It needs to send this mail using an outside provider's SMTP. The provider requires SMTP over SSL. None of the machines inside the NAT will ever send mail except via the provider's SMTP nor will they ever receive mail except to local clients via the provider's IMAP servers.
So for the example the machine is TESTMACHINE. There is one internet facing ethernet port connected to a DSL modem via pppoe.
The SMTP it needs to send mail via is mail.host.net which requires SMTP over SSL (port 465) and username/password authentication.
The sendmail documentation is quite confusing on how to get this simple setup operating, so an example showing the appropriate changes to sendmail.mc and other require config files.

I've been having this problem since 10.6 released, but have until now been successful with the "just use Thunderbird" response. My sendmail server hasn't been changed, but as clients upgrade from OSX 10.5 to 10.6 suddenly mail.app will no longer connects to send SMTP messages through the server. (IMAP connections to the same server using the same user/pass combinations work perfectly) When I look at the logs, things basically stop right after the STARTTLS command.
Google indicates alot of people are having similar problems, but I'm not seeing any solutions. Do any of you administrate sendmail servers where some of your clients are using Apple's Mail.app on Snow Leopard, and if so what settings are you using? At this point, I'm happy to make changes to the server to accommodate Apple's issue, I have too many Mac users connecting to my server. I just can't figure out what to change. I've enabled virtually every possible login authentication combination, and none of them work.

This is a transcript I get emailed at least once every day, usually about 3 to 10 a day recently.
Transcript of session follows.
SMTP server: errors from unknown[ip address]
<boring stuff snipped>
In: RCPT TO: <server@my domain>
Out: 550 5.1.1 <server@my domain>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
Session aborted, reason: lost connection Now I cannot seem to find anything via Google, as when I put "server@" anywhere in the string, I just get web hosting or other kroomst. The emails usually come from legit places, usually hotels. Does this mean they are sending bad emails, i.e. they have a Trojan/worm, or is this a live hack attempt?. I believe the later, as I might get upto 3 domains from the one ip address, which is always, NOT associated with the listed domain. Not causing me any issues, except I have been getting a lot recently.

I need to send authenticated mails from a RHEL machine to a relay that only accepts authentication mails from domain users. I've never done this so I'm a bit lost. I read some sendmail docs and I uncommented these optins in sendmail.mc file
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl
...
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
and then regenerated the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file and restarted senmaild, and started saslauth service. Still I can't send an e-mail.

I want to setup sendmail using my username and password on my ISP to be able to send out messages.This is actually true as the mylocaldomain is not a public Internet domain. Just a localdomain for our local network. However, I was expecting that to change to the username in my authinfo "myusername@myispdomain" since this account is authorized to send out email with my ISP.

In order to have greater control over the emails sent out the company I imagined the following scenario.ScenarioDescribing in words what I need.ser sends an email to user@hotmail.com for example, using the smtp of my isp (is the internet).Before the email is sent, the firewall checks if the recipient is blocked transparent, if you are locked out rejects the email.I searched several forums and mailing lists, but did not find scenarios similar to mine.Where found situations in which the mail servers were internally in the company, which is not my case.

I am using webmin for my daily tasks. I have fedora 13, whenever I click on ''Sendmail M4 Configuration'' or Outgoing Addresses (generics)'' I get the following error message
Quote:
The Sendmail M4 configuration base directory /usr/share/sendmail-cf was not found on your system, or is not the correct directory. Maybe it has not been installed (common for packaged installs of Sendmail), or the module config is incorrect. I read documentation at sendmail.org, it seems that structure of directories for send mail has been changed in version sendmail-8.1.4 shipped with FC13. In webmin config module we have
Quote:
Sendmail M4 base directory = /usr/share/sendmail-cf
which is not there. I did a locate / sendmail-cf on the command line, it finds nothing

I recently modified sendmail.cf to use a third party SMTP server to send emails. It works great. But when I run sendmail from the command line, I have to specify the -C flag and force feed it the location of my sendmail.cf, or else it doesn't work.
So in other words, the following works great:
However, if I don't specify the -C flag, sendmail doesn't consider what's in the sendmail.cf and barfs:
I don't run sendmail as a daemon. I'm only using it to send emails. I know my modifications of sendmail.cf are correct because it works perfectly when I use the -C flag. I searched my disk to see if I could find another sendmail.cf on the machine and only the one in /etc/mail came up.
Why sendmail is not reading my sendmail.cf?
I'm running Sendmail version 8.14.2 on Fedora Core 8.

I have installed a linux server in my office to run 16 machines. Its main use will be a internal mail server but will be also running websites.
I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 server x64 and have got apache running.
I am looking for the simplest more robust solution for smtp, pop3 and imap. I have only ever used qmail before and found it a pain to configure and its getting old so I though I should probably try something new. I have not much experience with running pop3 or imap on linux so would love a suggestion on that.

I'm trying to add the -audit option to X Server. I run ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep "bin/X" and get: root 2511 2506 0 10:35 tty7 00:00:09 /usr/bin/X:0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/dgm/auth-for-gdm-sScn1P/database -nolisten tcp vt7 So I'm thinking that I need to add -audit to the /usr/bin/X file, but I believe that it's binary and created by something else, but I can't find that "something else". How on earth can I add this option? I have opened up 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 files (slight exaggeration) and I've come up empty.
