I've gotten a bit further this weekend but I'm not 'there' yet. I could 
sucessfully send a e-mail by using 'mail' as normal user at my server. 
Allthough when I tried to send an e-mail from my laptop with my server 
as smtp server it kept prompting for my password and this is what was 
displayed in /var/log/maillog :

Aug  5 11:40:36 FStaals sm-mta[101]: k759eEva000101: Riza.FStaals.LAN 
[192.168.2.5] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to IPv4

When I googled if I could find a solution I came to this page :  
http://www.issociate.de/board/post/246978/did_not_issue_MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN_during_connection_to_MTA.html 
The solution oppered there was to add ' mech_list: login plain' to 
/usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf . So I did and it kind of worked, 
allthough now I can only send e-mail to other users at my server ( for 
example root ), when I try to mail to an external adress my log 'says' 
my message is rejected:

Aug  5 13:10:30 FStaals sm-mta[1495]: k75BATko001495:

5.7.1 <fr
ankstaals at gmx.net>... Relaying denied
Aug  5 13:10:34 FStaals sm-mta[1495]: k75BATko001495: lost input channel 
from Ri
za.FStaals.LAN [192.168.2.5] to IPv4 after rcpt

size=373, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=IPv4, 
relay=Riza.FStaals.LAN [1
92.168.2.5]


I'm not sure what I have to do to get working correctly and I was hoping 
someone could give me some hints what I'm doing wrong. Also I'm not sure 
if it's a good idea to add the 'mech_list: login plain' to sasl2's 
Sendmail.conf ? Last but not least : I want sendmail to use SSL and 
listen to port 465. sockstat shows It isn't listening to that port, but 
I think it should, does anyone happen to know what it is I'm doing wrong 
at that point:

root at FStaals$ sockstat -4 | grep sendmail
root     sendmail   1410  3  tcp4   *:25                  *:*
root     sendmail   1410  5  tcp4   *:587                 *:*

root at FStaals$ cat /etc/mail/FStaals.net.cf | grep smtps
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s

Many thanks,
