Hello,

I have a really annoying problem with the gmx SMTP-server: When I try
to send my E-Mail with "sendmail -q" I often get such error messages:

Action: delayedStatus: 4.3.0
Remote-MTA: DNS; mail.gmx.net
Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 451 Need to authenticate via POP3 first / Bitte erst per POP3 anmelden
Last-Attempt-Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 09:31:49 +0100
Will-Retry-Until: Sat, 15 Jan 2000 20:49:57 +0100

I understand this as mail.gmx.net (the smtp-server) needs an
authentication for receiving EMail. But how can I authenticate myself
using sendmail? For receiving E-Mail, I use fetchmail and it works
fine, but I have found nothing in my documentation about authentication
with sendmail, so I have no guess how to do it.

Thanks in advance.
