Re: How to turn sendmail authentication off

The snippet you have below shows that authentication is supported. This is not the same as "required". Did you do something else to have concluded that it is in fact required?

I have been struggling with configuring sendmail without authentication. If I comment out confAUTH_OPTIONS in sendmail.mc sendmail is still requiring authentication.

I want to configure sendmail so that it will only relay mail from localhost and will not require authentication. How do I turn off authentication?

Any help would be appreciated
