Sendmail authentication issue or spam?

[Gbenga Shobowale]

Thanks but I really don't understand the mechanism to use... I think I would
have to understand that....I looked at the examples on the internet and the
U: was set to root...I: the username and P:password given...
Could u please explain mechanism to use?

AuthInfo:cobranet.org "U:user_authname" "P:password"
"M:mechanism_to_use"

thanks again
