We have a new Fedora system that is suppose to send it's mail (using

il.mc, etc.), but sendmail continues to attempt TLS.

How do I turn TLS off!


This is probably a question better suited to a sendmail mailing list/newsgroup but...

The sendmail book lists the following mc file directives that relate to starttls:

define(`CERT_DIR', `/etc/mail/certs')
define(`confCACERT_PATH', `CERT_DIR')
define(`confCACERT', `CERT_DIR`'/cacert.pem')
define(`confSERVER_CERT', `CERT_DIR`'/client.cert.pem')
define(`confSERVER_KEY', `CERT_DIR`'/client.key.pem')
define(`confCLIENT_CERT', `CERT_DIR`'/client.cert.pem')
define(`confCLIENT_KEY', `CERT_DIR`'/client.key.pem')

If any of these are in your sendmail.mc, remove them (or rem them out), rebuild the sendmail.cf file (with the command: m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf) and restart sendmail.

Another way is to edit the current sendmail.cf file and make sure this line is in it and uncommented:

	O TLSSrvOptions=V

This tells sendmail to NOT request the client's certificate.  Note that
this option is not safe and is only present in sendmail V8.12.x.
