Subject: smtp authentication (sendmail relay)
Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2000 00:29:02 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]

[ALERT patience requireed]
Finding myself in an unusaual temporary situation where for technical reasons
I cannot relay my outgoing mail through my normal ISP smtp machine.
My setup is single user running Redhat linux 6.2. Connected by ppp to an ISP
and sending with local sendmail to ISP mail machine
Normally I set the smart_host to my ISPs smtp.machine. That is temporarily
broken for now.
I have a second smtp.server that I can use. The smtp side of newsguy.com.
I use that pop server routinely. But suddenly find I don't know how to
authenticate my relay to an smtp.server that is not part of the isp I'm dialed
up with. I know how to set /etc/sendmail.cf to relay to that server but not
how to authenticate my outgoing relay to that machine.
In fact, not really sure where those smtp negotiations get handled.
