HI,
I am looking to configure the SMTP AUTH for sendmail and needed help.
I am using Fedora core 6. I am able to send email to a user using
telnet ip 25

My understanding is that once the saslauthd is running then the server needs to ask me or authenticate the username entered when I try to send email. However the server is doing neither and accepts any username I enter and sends the email to any recipient that i want.
Any idea?
thanks
