Auth required: Outlook 2003

[Jonathan Horne]

smtp-auth is actually quite simple to setup in Fedora.  i would refrain
from usingpop-before-smtp authentication, as there are security risks in
doing so.  im also speaking to FC4, ive not set this up in FC5 yet.  but,
i imagine its probably the same, or very close.

first, enable and start saslauthd.

chkconfig saslauthd on
/etc/init.d/saslauthd start

next, add these configuration options to your sendmail.cf file.

define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dn
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')

generate your new sendmail.mc file, and restart sendmail.  this
configuration will allow outlook to use authentication.

hth, and good luck!
