I have spent weeks trying to resolve the following issues:
I have F9/10/11 working just fine.
1) SendMail - I can get SM to run, but I am unable to
send outgoing email messages. Why? Because
of some sort of authentication issue refuses to
accept the password.
Do you mean you can't mail to the outside world, or you simply can't
send any mail through it, even to an internal address?
Using authentication, I am constantly asked to provide
the password via Thunderbird and in failing to accept
authorization, it simply disconnects from sendmail.
I have added non-authorization step as well, and it is
simply rejected the connection with no prompts for
a password.
From the Thunderbird client, the error message reported is:
Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent using SMTP server
mx1.domain.com
for an unknown reason. Please verify that your SMTP server settings
are correct and try again, or contact your network administrator.
In the above two cases, the error message I got is:
[...] <
host/domain>.com [X.X.X.X] did not issue \
MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
We can only guess without seeing configuration files. You also need to
say what type of authentications are being used (simply passwords,
encrypted logons, certificates as well, etc.).
Are you playing with authorisation, because you have to (it's publicly
exposed), or because you want to (for experimenting purpose)?
If you don't really need it (e.g. because you have a mail server inside
your LAN that can't be externally accessed) then you can avoid trying to
get it working.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.
