sendmail AUTH

Post by ekatz » 2017/07/12 20:09:36

Hello all,

I have a question regarding sendmail 8.14.4 running on CentOS 6:
Is it possible to disable only incoming AUTH requests and keep the outgoing AUTH running?
We had a PCI scan which came up with this issue. (accept AUTH attempts, they tested with EHLO)

Thanks!

I found the solution:
Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, and make the following change:
From-
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl
dnl define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl
To-
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl
dnl define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl

generate a new sendmail.fc using the following command:
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf

service sendmail restart
