    I'm trying to manually authenticate with the sendmail server, but not
    getting much success. I just want to double-check my syntax here. Can
    someone take a look and verify I'm doing this correctly?

    telnet server 25
    220 localhost.localdomain ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.10/8.12.10; Mon, 29 Dec 2003
    08:07
    :08 -0800

    250-localhost.localdomain Hello [192.168.1.50], pleased to meet you
    250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
    250-PIPELINING
    250-8BITMIME
    250-SIZE
    250-DSN
    250-ETRN
    250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN
    250-DELIVERBY
    250 HELP

    auth PLAIN <base64 encoded password>

    Now when I do this, I get "535 5.7.0 authentication failed" and in the logs
    I get:
    messages: Dec 29 08:09:39 fresca sendmail[26999]: Can only find author (no
    password)
    maillog: I get nothing in this log until I quit the telnet session, then I
    get:
    Dec 29 08:10:53 fresca sendmail[26999]: hBTG78dI026999: [192.168.1.50] did
    not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA

    Any help appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Corey
