    When I try to relay an e-mail with sendmail through gmail, beginning
    2022 June 1, it returns:

    050 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at

    The Username and Password are correct: I can log in with them in my
    browser. How do I make this work?

    IIRC Google changed the auth for SMTP. You need to specify an app
    password in your Google account for SMTP and use that in authinfo.

    The reason is that if that password is known to others, they can only
    use SMTP and cannot access your entire Google account.

    To get an app password requires 2-step verification: I'd have to receive an e-mail and enter a key every time I send a message. Can I automate this with sendmail?

    Is that really the case?
    I don't know any way to automate that process.
    I also recommend you getting another mail provider, Google will annoy
    you more and more in the future with such stuff.

    So the instructions at gmail tell me. Someone tells me about making msmtp work using oauth2. Is there any plan to make sendmail work with oauth2? What mailer do you recommend?

    sendmail uses Cyrus-SASL to implement AUTH.
    So you need to check with that software whether the mechanism
    is provided: maybe cyrus-sasl-xoauth2 does this?
    If so, you have to add that auth plugin and give it a try.

    Then look at cf/README:

    Providing SMTP AUTH Data when sendmail acts as Client -----------------------------------------------------
    ...
    or FEATURE(`authinfo') must be used which provides a separate map.


    Specify an "socketmap" for this and you can provide any info
    via a process which you can write to do whatever you want/need.

    possibly just google this issue and try the first hit:

    Are you saying that Sendmail uses Cyrus-SASL when it's acting as a
    sending client talking to another upstream server / MTA / smart host?

    I know that Cyrus-SASL was used when sendmail was acting as the
    receiving server talking to a down stream client / MUA.

    I didn't limit that statement to client or server side...
