I followed all th steps and everything seemed to go fine until I reached the end To see if SMTP-AUTH and TLS work properly now run the following command: telnet localhost 25 After you have established the connection to your sendmail mail server type ehlo localhost If you see the lines 250-STARTTLS and 250-AUTH everything is fine ELSE seemed to be missing, because everything worked and sendmail was running, but STARTTLS and AUTH was not seen /etc/init.d/saslauthd start seemed to start OK Where to now? sm
Even more problems I think I'm just unlucky - I had some problems with another server and I rebooted all the servers last night. Nor today when I try to telnet localhost 25. it kicks me off with a rude message saying I'm unauthorised. I ran the command /usr/sbin/sendmail -d0.1 -bv root again and it does show SASLv2 and STARTTLS. Sendmail is running but I can't find a log file for it.
OK, I de-installed the entire thing and started over. This time it worked 100%. Thank you very much for all the help you have given me. I have another question. I think I may have already posted it, I'll have a look
