[NBLUG/talk] Configuring sendmail to forward email via sonic.net

[Todd Cary]

Ron -

I made the changes and the list of errors in the maillog file are 
less [see below].  However my setup of sendmail is not providing 
the correct authorization:

AUTH=client, available mechanisms do not fulfill requirements

Though most of the lines in the maillog are past my level, the phrase

ctladdr=root (0/0)

and

ctladdr=<root at localhost.localdomain> (0/0)

seem to indicate the the sender of the email 
root at localhost.localdomain, not what is in the hosts file as I 
*think* I have it correctly configured.

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain localhost centos5
::1        localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
216.228.174.9    centos.toddcary.com    centos5

I am sending the test message as root since any application would 
be too.

Suggestions?

Todd
