$10 to the person that can enable SMTP authentication in SENDMAIL

    I have a linux system that periodically sends out emails. It uses sendmail. My ISP refuses all sendmail emails. I can send emails through my webhost but doing so requires that I authenticate outgoing emails with a username/password.

    I'm willing to pay $10 to the person that can set this up. I will pay via Google Checkout or Paypal once I have verified that it works.

    Things to know:
    -I have a fully qualified domain name set in /etc/hosts. For test purposes use mail.myfrogger.com (which is not real).
    -My host runs cpanel which requires the username in the form of an email address.

    Here is the code for my /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file:

    dnl #
    dnl # This is the sendmail macro config file for m4. If you make changes to
    dnl # /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, you will need to regenerate the
    dnl # /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file by confirming that the sendmail-cf package is
    dnl # installed and then performing a
    dnl #

    Why waste $10? You can do it by yourself. All you need to do is add a line, you can find it on sendmail support site.

    It seems to be a lot more than one line of code...regardless, I don't know how to do it so my offer is still open.

    Offer is closed. I'm willing to give wmghori $5 since he gave me the information on how to do this myself. Thanks!
