SMTP Auth is available in Sendmail 8.10b6 which I am running now on auth.nstc.com. I
am successfully using Netscape Communicator 4.6 to authenticate myself when sending
mail through my server. Works well with newer versions of Eudora and Netscape. SASL doesn't understand Microsoft Outlook's LOGIN authentication. I am planning on writing a module to correct that. Don't know when exactly I will have it done.
