Hi all,

Just having a really hard time getting smtp auth to work in any way shape or
form on my 7.3 box.  Here is what I have done:

1.) tried to get it to run on the installed version with 7.3 which was
8.11.x and was unsuccessful at connecting at all.
2.) so I update the version of sendmail to 8.12.xlatest
And then proceeded to:
   configured:
       1.) Sendmail.cf file
       ### here is the file

I have tried all pam/sasldb/shadow and none change the factoid that I can
not connect from an external machine..

SASL - Sendmail.conf=pam

If anyone has any ideas they would much appreciated as I have worked on this
for 3 days now and I can't get any connection to function???  I have
followed 4 different individuals directions and each time no connection.
Sendmail is seriously a huge bag of worms... :-)
