Hi, We installed sendmail 8.13.6, but authorization using a username and password from Thunderbird is not working as before. I don't have time to upgrade the server to FC4 or 5 right now. I'd just like to configure sendmail 8.13.6 so that it worked as before. The latest sendmail built for FC is 8.12.11, so I can't use that because of the security problem. The instructions with sendmail were used: sh Build sh Build -c -f `pwd`/devtools/Site/site.config.m4 to include STARTTLS, etc. The previous configuration files (sendmail.mc) from 8.12.11 were used. The only thing I can think of is that the sendmail binary produced is a dynamic library, whereas the one distributed with FC2 is a shared executable. I've built sendmail shared, but it fails with a segmentation fault. Does anyone know the ENVDEFS that should be used to build a shared binary for FC? Thanks in advance. Any advice appreciated.

What's in the mail log when you try to send a mail? What's the output of Code: telnet localhost 25 and then Code: ehlo localhost ? What's the output of Code: netstat -tap ?

Perhaps it has to do with AUTH not listing PLAIN or LOGIN? Not sure what you are looking for with netstat. It is really long so I just cut out the part about imaps and pop3s.

Yes, some email clients such as Outlook Express need LOGIN. I wanted to see if sendmail is running, but you didn't post that part (or sendmail is really not running).
