[NV]

Hi,

SMTP auth cannot be done. Few log and config files are:

some more input from log.

----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mail.mycompany.com.:

>>>>>> AUTH LOGIN =
>>>      
>>>
<<< 501 Error decoding Username parameter.

>>>>>> RCPT To:<user at yahoo.com>
>>>      
>>>
<<< 503 This mail server requires authentication. Please check your mail 
client settings. 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable


I got user entry correctly as in access with following :

#AuthInfo:other.dom "U:user" "I:user" "P:secret" "R:other.dom" "M:DIGEST-MD5"
#AuthInfo:more.dom "U:user" "P=c2VjcmV0"

My smart host is also correct.

The sendmail version is
