I would like to use the newest sendmail with authenticated smtp but couldn't find a rpm anywhere on suse. Is somebody planning to create something like that, usable also for a SuSE 6.3???
I tried to compile it myself with BerkeleyDB, sfio + patch, openssl, cyrus-sasl but still don't know whether I might succeed... there are just too many things one needs to know... (2c: run rpm --rebuild and stop it once you know which parameters to call ./configure with -- then add a few of your own. )
Some thoughtful individual included a rpm in 7.1, and probably earlier, called sendmail-tls, which, with a few minor hacks to the linux.mc config file, you can actually get working. I installed this and cyrus-sasl on a redhat 6.2 system, although I had to upgrade pretty much everything .. so it is now a very confused little redhat box (a little disaster just waiting to happen). If you are prepared to upgrade glibc, you can do it too. Since I didn't really understand, I just turned everything on in linux.mc, which could be bad: TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`GSSAPI KERBEROS_V4 DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN DPA NTLM') define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS',`GSSAPI KERBEROS_V4 DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN DPA NTLM') define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO', `/etc/mail/auth')dnl echo password | saslpasswd -p -c user -p -u `hostname -f` # first time fails I have a slightly more comprehensive doc on how to do it ... any takers? &:-) -- ___ , | | l\/\ . -o) -o) -o) -o) -o) -o) -o) |-+-l\/\/\ /\\ /\\ /\\ /\\ /\\ /\\ /\\ |_|_|\/\/\/\. _\_v _\_v _\_v _\_v _\_v _\_v _\_v
