Restricted posting to bulletin board

[Michael Bacon]

I'm closed to blind from upgrading sendmail all day, but I'll see if I can 
answer your question:

You'll need to establish some "AuthInfo" in sendmail to pass along to LMTP. 
The easiest and best way to do this is with special tags in the access 
database.  Here's some tips for doing that:

http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/sm-812.html#812AUTH

In other words, you'll want to set up an lmtpadmin in the imapd.conf, and 
give that user a way to authenticate.  (In the simplest sense, user 
"sendmail" with a password.)  Then, you'll specify that information in the 
access database with a line that looks something like:

AuthInfo:localhost "U:sendmail" "I:sendmail" "P:password" 
"M:YOURFAVORITESASLMECH"

That's the heart of it.  You may need to do a few more steps, but that 
should get you started.
