We attempting to configure a sendmail server for SMTP relay. We like for  
this relay server to first authenticate users based on their active  
directory creds. I believe this can be accomplished with PAM but I can’t  
find any good documentation on how to configure this. Has anyone out  
there done this and could you please help me with this config.

Thank you.
