RE: [cobalt-developers] RAQ4: SPAM and 554 5.3.0 rewrite: map popauth not found

I ran into the same problem.  Rather than rebuild sendmail.cf and re-add
the pop-before-smtp lines, I went the other direction.  Put back the
original sendmail.cf and just add the RBL lines.  See the article on
http://www.ispguru.com for details.  Rebuilding sendmail.cf from the .mc
file isn't fun on a Cobalt, and isn't the way their packages work
either.  Ever notice that?  Sun's cobalt patches for sendmail just
backup the sendmail.cf file, update via RPM, and then put the original
back.  At least that's what they're supposed to do. ;-)

Subject: [cobalt-developers] RAQ4: SPAM and 554 5.3.0 rewrite: map
popauth not found


A couple of days ago I just couldn?t stand the spam on my raq4 so from
your alls help I added RBLs to my cobalt.mc file and created a new
sendmail.cf file.  That of course closed down the open relay on my box. 
The problem that then came up was the users on my system aren?t able to
send mail from their Outlook clients.  The pop-before-relay doesn?t seem
to be working.  I of course can go into the control panel and add ip
addresses for those who want to send but that doesn?t work because of
the number of individuals on my box.  So, I found some help from an old
listserv that said to add the following code to my cobalt.mc file and
then pop-before-relay would work?.but it doesn?t. 
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Pop-before-smtp secondary access hash
Kpopauth hash -a /etc/mail/popip.db
LOCAL_RULESETS
SLocal_check_rcpt
# Put the address into cannonical form (even if it doesn't resolve to an
MX).
R$*                               $: $>Parse0 03 $1
R$* < $* > $*                 $: $1 < $2 . > $3
R$* < $* . . >     $*         $1 < $2 . > $3
# Test against pop-before-relay hash
R$*                               $: < $&{client_addr} >
R< $* >                         $(popauth $1 $)
R$* < MATCH >             $#OK
------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I did the m4 and then restarted sendmail I got the error: WARNING:
Dangerous write permissions
 
Then when I sent an email from Outlook it came back from system
administrator with the following error:
 
554 5.3.0 rewrite: map popauth not found
 
I?m stuck.  Does anyone have any ideas for me?
 
Thanks,
 
Rus
