I recall someone asked this before, but I forgot the answer:
What is the best method for keeping the password file for opensmtpd in
sync with /etc/master.passwd? I would like the email passwords to be
identical with the shell account passwords, if possible.
It will accept mail on localhost as the system user on the socket. So,
I just ssh in and send the email.
But you probably mean a remote connection with SMTP AUTH. I've never
used SMTP AUTH with opensmtpd, so I will watch for other answers
and be enlightened.
My primary use case for opensmtp is with raw crypto authenticated
IPv6 addresses for domains (Cjdns/Yggdrasil/Pinecone/CGA), so no
additional authentication is needed. E.g.
To: <stuart@[IPv6:fcbc:b27:be6f:94dd:4225:792:c988:8ace]>
I use sendmail with SMTP AUTH, and it has pluggable auth configuration.
I'll bet opensmtpd has the same, I just don't see it in the docs
right off.
