This recipe will look for an encrypted data bag item named node[sendmail][authinfo] to configure sendmail with authinfo.

Example of data bag sendmail/kitchen.json (unencrypted):

{
  "id": "kitchen",
  "user": "root",
  "account": "[email protected]",
  "password": "encrypted-password",
  "host": "smtp.example.com",
  "port": 1337
}

To use these settings:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[sendmail]"
  ],
  "attributes": {
    "sendmail": {
      "authinfo": "kitchen"
    }
  }
}
