Configuring SMTP Authentication Client in Sendmail

If you want to relay your Sendmail at your ISP mail relay server which need SMTP authentication, you may follow the steps below: -

1. Find the DS in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and change it as below: -

DSmail.example.com

2. Put the following line in /etc/mail/access file in one line: -

AuthInfo:mail.example.com "U:user@example.com" "I:user@example.com" "P:password" "R:example.com" "M:LOGIN PLAIN"

3. Then, restart your Sendmail service as below: -

service sendmail restart

4. Finally, you can monitor your maillog using the command below: -

tail -f /var/log/maillog

Note: The above was tested on Sendmail 8.13.5-3 in Fedora Core 5

 

Accepting email for unknown users in Sendmail

By default, Sendmail will reject or bounce any incoming email addressed to users who doesn’t exist as real users or as aliases in the system. If you wish to setup Sendmail to accept all incoming email and redirect it to a recycle bin, you may follow the steps below: -

1. Backup your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

2. Add the following line at the end of this /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file: -

define(`LUSER_RELAY', `local:nosuchuser')dnl

3. Then, you must run the m4 as below: -

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

4. Add the following line in /etc/aliases file: -

nosuchuser:    /dev/null

5. Finally, run the newaliases as below: -

newaliases

My Proton Saga Iswara

Sent my car for a service. Changed oil, oil filter and fuel filter. Then, sent my car for a car wash. Like a new car, hehehe,

Wonder how old is my car now??? Hmm…I have to check on my car registration card. The registration date was 17 Nov 1998. Wow, it is 8 years old. It has been with my since my first job.

I still remember that this car doesn’t have an alarm system and a stereo when I purchased it. Installed a new alarm system few days after I got it. But, still no stereo. Later, I changed the normal exhaust pipe to a new muffler. After sometime, the new stereo system is installed…a Kenwood CD player with stereo radio and a pair of Kenwood stereo speaker. Then, a 2nd hand TSW 16″ rims with Bridgestone Potenza RE711 tires was replaced with my original tires and rims. Imagine how can you handle it without a power steering…awesome,

It was too costly to maintain it with my previous job requirement…traveling to Penang and Johor Bahru. So, I decided to trade-in with new tires to install into my old rims.

My car still rocks…hell yeah,

Father’s Day 2007

I decided to celebrate Father’s Day with my family members (me, my wife, dad, mum, brother and his girlfriend) at Sakae Sushi Subang Parade,

Dad and mum started looking at the menu and ordering their dishes…awesome,

One thing I missed…forgot to take pictures on our dishes, sad thing,
