I thought I had configured my servers to use authsmtp by 

1. following Brian's instructions
http://www.nuonce.net/support/viewthread.php?tid=622 quote:

By using this script, SMTP-Auth "should" work for you;

/usr/bin/perl -pi -e "if ( /confAUTH_MECHANISMS/ ) { s/^dnl //; }"
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc /usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s/MECH=shadow/MECH=pam/"
/etc/rc.d/init.d/saslauthd /sbin/chkconfig --add saslauthd
/sbin/chkconfig saslauthd on

service sendmail restart
service saslauthd start

2. Set client to log in using same login/passwd as for pop3 account


.... but it doesn't work.

Has anybody got this working? If so I would appreciate some help on this
one.

Thanks

Colin
