SMTP AUTH failing

[Ankush Grover]

hey,

did you put anything in the /usr/lib/sasl/Sendmail.conf

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: DIGEST-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN

these entries should be there ,also check whether saslauthd is working
or not and you also have to enable My Server requires authentication
in your email client.

I don't know much about sendmail as i have never configured it but I
know postfix a little.

Regards

Ankush
