Subject: Mail auth and FreeBSD/Sendmail


Hi all,
I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 Stable on one of my servers and Sendmail 8.12.10. I'm trying to get mail auth to work so that my users can send mail (smtp port 25) through this server no matter which net they are connected to. I have installed cyrus-sasl-1.5.28_3 and followed the description given on this page 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html. Everything seems to work and all tests give the expected results.

I have also looked at this page http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html and done the initial test:

#telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 my.server.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.10/8.12.10; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 13:31:13 +0200 (CEST)

250 HELP

When I'm testing sending mail through this server (as smtp server) I use 
Eudora 6.1 from my WinXP PC. I always get relaying denied and it doesn't 
seem to check username/password.

Here's what my logfile and Eudora log says:

Oct  5 13:35:18 myserver sendmail[59394]: i95BZIow059394: 
ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<andreas at xxxxx.no>, relay=my.ip.address.domain.com 
[x.x.x.x], reject=550 5.7.1 <andreas at xxxxx.no>... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.

I would be very grateful for any help here. I'm stuck and I don't know what to check next.

Thanks alot!
Andreas

I have a similar setup, apart from I use cyrus-sasl2.
Do you have the relevant options to start the sasl authd in your rc.conf?
If so, have you tried using a different email client to check and make sure
it is not Eudora that is at error?
