How can I set auth on smtp server

[idangozlan]

hey,
My mailserver being spam-mailserver.

I decided to add smtp auth, how can i do that?

If you're using DirectAdmin then you're already using a system which (a) won't relay, and (b) uses smtp auth through port 587.

So in that case, we need a lot more detail.

If you're not using DirectAdmin, then you're in the wrong place.

How are you connecting via PHP form? Are you using the sendmail interface, or are you connecting through SMTP?

Using sendmail() function without any auth..

And how does the sendmail() function inject email? Does it use smtp to your server? Or does it use exim's sendmail alias? If the latter (which I suspect) it's not using smtp, and authentication doesn't apply.
