make sure you have your client pc in your /etc/mail/access file. mine looks like so.......
# Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf file for a description # of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file) # The /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc # package. # # by default we allow relaying from localhost... localhost.localdomain RELAY localhost RELAY 127.0.0.1 RELAY 192.168.0 RELAY <client IP addresses>
then do a m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
then /etc/init.d/sendmail restart

OK. I can access access port 110, but when I try to send mail from this address to michael@espersunited.com (my primary email address under my domain) the mail gets returned with this error:
Each of the following recipients was rejected by a remote mail server. The reasons given by the server are included to help you determine why each recipient was rejected.
Recipient: <michael@espersunited.com> Reason: 5.7.1 <michael@espersunited.com>... Relaying denied.Proper authentication required.
Also, whenever I try to send email from michael@espersunited.com I get this error:
Unable to authenticate to SMTP server. Bad authentication response from server.
Please enter the SMTP password for michael@smtp.espersunited.com
I changed the password in the text box to the password I use on the client PC, but it won't accept it. Mail worked just fine on my server PC (until it went down due to hardware problems), which was running RH9. I made nightly backups of the /etc directory on the server PC. Then I backed up /etc/mail on my client PC (which runs Fedora Core 1) and extracted the server PC's backed up /etc/mail files into my client's /etc/mail. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me with this?
