Hello, Not sure if this is the most appropriate place for this question, but since all my servers are FreeBSD 6.x/7.x, I'll give it a go... I am considering setting up SMTP auth on a number of sendmail instances that I control. After much googling and reading, it is not clear to me that a server with SMTP auth configured/enabled can relay mail in both auth and non-auth modes. If one sendmail configuration cannot accommodate both SMTP auth and access.db, does one setup a dedicated SMTP auth host with a SMART_HOST option and feed incoming email to an non-auth instance of sendmail? Sorry if my terminology is ambiguous, I'm not a sendmail professional by day. -- Regards, Doug
