Subject: Message Header Information / Errors

I am attempting to eliminate the Authentication-Warning message that
appears in our syslog file (see sample below of the three lines).  It does
not appear for everybody, just myself>  I have adjusted my PINE (.pinerc)
configuration file (SMTP-server) in an attempt to stop the message, but to
no avail.  What is interesting that this error appears only to occur on my
account.

Any thoughts what might cause this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I get it too occasionally - not in a syslog file but on msgs to
myself. I've never bothered to check if it also occurs on msgs to
third parties. Will do so soon.

If you send the mail through an SMTP server instead of directly via
sendmail you will not get the warning. Another solution is to update
sendmail.cf with your user id:

From sendmail.cf:

  #####################
  #   Trusted users   #
  #####################

  # this is equivalent to setting class "t"
  #Ft/etc/mail/trusted-users
  Troot
  Tdaemon
  Tuucp

Add "Tslowe" to remove the warning.
