Anybody know what 'SASL' is? > (I just tweaked my /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file. It says:: That's talking about sending outgoing mail, and is to prevent spammers from using speakeasy's servers without authentication. Your problem is with incoming mail, and requiring anyone that wants to send you mail to use SASL is ridiculous. Pester Speakeasy and make sure they know you're talking about MXes for incoming mail. Large ISPs usually have different machines dedicated to incoming vs outgoing mail. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
