sendmail smart host auth (solved)

[Erez D]

ok. after seeing all references to this are for mc and not cf. i decided to
go with changing the mc file.

so here it is for posperity
i added the following lines to submit.mc:
======================
MASQUERADE_AS(doron.com)
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
define(`SMART_HOST',`out.bezeqint.net')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN
PLAIN')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info')dnl
====================================
and did:
cd /etc/mail
mkdir auth
echo 'AuthInfo:out.bezeqint.net "I:username" "P:password"' >
auth/client-info
cd auth
makemap hash client-info < client-info
cd /etc/mail
m4 submit.mc > submit.cf

now it works.

thanks for your help.
erez.
