Pop before SMTP
I have found a bunch of articles to setup Sendmail as a mail relay, but none have been successful for me or the articles are very outdated. I have tried the articles at sendmail.org without success. Anyone have a 'stupid-proof' set of current instructions on how setup Sendmail Pop before SMTP? This is a CentOS 4.5 Box with Sendmail 8.14.2/8.13.1 and Dovecot. Any successful guidance would be appreciated!

Welcome to Dev Shed.

I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say POP before SMTP... can you clarify.

Sorry! To utilize Sendmail as a Mail Relay, but to authenticate the user by having them POP (check their incoming mail) before they are able to send mail via SMTP. Hope that make sense!
