Email address not the same as domain address

[ScalixSupport]

I see in another of your posts

# default authentication information for outgoing connections
O DefaultAuthInfo=/etc/mail/auth1/client-info

I'm not sure where you got that as I don't see it in your sendmail.cf. Uncomment the line I indicated above.

Also try this. Look at this link

This is a telnet session to 1and1. Do that then after you've entered the

ehlo localhost

enter

auth plain "U:loginname" "I:loginname" "P:password"

and see if you get authenticated. You may have to play with using the U: or I: only to see which works for you, I don't know. It's a shame 1and1 can't tell you.

Thanks,
Don

Using sendmail as a client with AUTH
If you are using sendmail only to transfer e-mail from your local computer to a mail server that requires SMTP AUTH, follow these instructions. They assume that sendmail 8.12 or later, and other software, is already installed on your computer. You should probably be logged in as root to perform these steps.
Change directory to where your sendmail configuration files (sendmail.cf) are located, usually /etc.
Create a safe subdirectory (suggested name auth/):
mkdir auth
chmod 700 auth
Create a file with your authentication information (suggested name auth/client-info):
AuthInfo:your.isp.net "U:root" "I:user" "P:password"
Filling in your ISP's mail server, your user name, and your password. (Note: Earthlink, and perhaps other ISP's, requires your full e-mail address as a user name.)
Edit /etc/mail/access and add the same info to the bottom of the file
AuthInfo:your.isp.net "U:root" "I:user" "P:password"
Filling in your ISP's mail server, your user name, and your password. (Note: Earthlink, and perhaps other ISP's, requires your full e-mail address as a user name.)
Generate the authentication database and make both files readable only by root:
makemap hash access < access.
chmod 600 access*
cd auth
makemap hash client-info < client-info
chmod 600 client-info*
cd ..
Edit /etc/sendmail.cf
