RE: sendmail authentication
The follwowing was tested in stable and unstable with sendmail:
For plain text (in an internal sense not - what you would see
over the network!) you'll need the package
libsasl-modules-plain
Then append
ESASL_PATH=/usr/lib/sasl
to 'sendmail.mc'. Create '/usr/lib/sasl/Sendmail.conf'
and put in the line
pwcheck_method: PAM
Then you could decide by '/etc/pam.d/smtp' how to
authenticate. E.g. with 'pam_userdb.so'.
There you could use Berkeley DB Version 3.
I hope this helps!

Subject: sendmail authentication
Hi all
I need to let sendmail authenticate from a different passwd file, let me
explain.
Sendmail currently authenticates from /etc/passwd I would like it to use
/etc/mailpass as step one and then to authenticate from berkleydb later on
when I have verified that evereything works.
Qpopper also needs to be moved to alternative authentication.
Tnx
Mozzi
