Thank you K3nt1 for the tip. The un-traditional ” in the auth file caused me the same problem. Thanks to you it’s now solved

Do we need some exact authentication/transfer protocols to be available in sendmail version maybe? How to check them?

Sep 7 12:23:50 localhost sendmail[1593]: STARTTLS=client, relay=smtp.gmail.com, version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=RC4-MD5, bits=128/128
Sep 7 12:23:50 localhost sendmail[1593]: AUTH=client, relay=smtp.gmail.com [209.85.129.99], authinfo failed

Hello,

besides the missing makemap instruction, pay attention to use traditionnal ” and ‘ in your configuration files. If you copy paste, you will have to modify them by hand (both in client-info and sendmail.mc).

eli, et al:

It seems the instructions above miss a step.

After creating the client-info file in the auth directory, you must run the following command.

makemap -r hash client-info.db < client-info

Then, you should continue with recompiling the sendmail.cf file.

Hope this helps.

There is some little thing wrong there.

I get the error below when trying to recompile on webmin

Failed to build configuration :

NONE:0: m4: ERROR: end of file in argument list

Googling it, I´ve found:

But where is the wrong tick-tick here?
