[cobalt-users] raq4 and SMTP AUTH

["Dr. Patrick van der Smagt" <smagt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear gurus,

Having used SMTP Auth with SASL on another Linux machine, I attempted to
use the SMTP AUTH mechanism on a RAQ4---without success.  I found that
everything seems to be in place:

# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 localhost ESMTP Sendmail 8.10.2/8.10.2;
ehlo localhost
250-cobalt Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE 104857600
250-DSN
250-ONEX
250-ETRN
250-XUSR
250-AUTH PLAIN CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5
250 HELP

the auth mechanism is in place.  I didn't change
/usr/lib/sasl/Sendmail.conf:

pwcheck_method: PAM
auto_transition: true

nor did I change /etc/pam.d/smtp:

#%PAM-1.0
auth       requisite    /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
auth       requisite    /lib/security/pam_shells.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so


Still: the machine mentions "Relaying denied.  Please check your mail
first" when I try sending with authentication.  Why?
