Sendmail - simple step by step for smtp server set up to authenticate - users send from  anywhere to anywhere

Asked by grant-ellsworth in SendMail Email Server

Tags: sendmail, confauth

Here's the scenario - very very simple

On Redhat Enterprise ver 3 ...

Need smtp server of sendmail to accept "outbound" email sent by only users who authenticate ... users may be on LAN with the mail server and users may be connecting to smtp server from anywhere in internet.  We want them to have their email clients do a plain text login into the smtp server before it'll relay their outbound email.

I've enabled the generic authentication in the sendmail.mc file.

define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl
   ....
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
 ....
Questions include:

1.  what do I need to add to the "access db" to allow outbound relay from any IP (on lan or wan)
2.  can I have users use the same username/password we set up for them to use when connecting to get POP(3) email?  ... Do I really need to set up a separate username/pwd file/db?
3.  What else do I need to do?
