I followed the steps in http://www.linuxha.com/other/sendmail/gmail.html to setup gmail in send mail. But when I try to send mail I got the authentication failure message.

—– Transcript of session follows —– … while talking to smtp.gmail.com:

AUTH dialogue <<< 535-5.7.1 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at <<>> MAIL From: SIZE=538 AUTH= <<< 530-5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at <<< 530 5.5.1 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 i7sm28108408qap.12 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

That code above doesn't seem to have any authentication information, that is what the Gmail server is complaining about. – Tim Dec 29 '11 at 14:48

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Do you have the correct (gmail) username and password settings in client-info? If yes, is sendmail able to read this file? Have you built your new sendmail.cf after editing sendmail.mc? Have you restarted sendmail afterwards?

Yes I have correct username and password in /etc/mail/authinfo. I can login with this info in browser. I build successfully sendmail.cf using "make all install restart" After done everything sendmail is successfully restarted. – Arul Dec 29 '11 at 15:48
Permissions like I said. Is sendmail able to read the external files? Look for warnings in the log files. – adamo Dec 30 '11 at 7:32
Yes It can read external file.. sendmail 14165 root 3u IPv4 517170 TCP *:smtp (LISTEN) Its started by root user.. -rw------- 1 root root 180 Dec 29 06:40 authinfo That authentication file have read and write access for root user – Arul Jan 2 at 9:05
