site.config.m4 is used to generate the Makefiles and other build
configuration for compiling sendmail. It's mostly about which
directories files get installed into and what optional features should
be compiled in. It has nothing to do with the runtime
sendmail.mc/sendmail.cf stuff.
The system sources however don't use the m4 based configuration system
supplied by sendmail.org --- essentially they've already done that
step for you and saved the results into CVS.
You can configure the system sendmail with SASL support by editing
/etc/make.conf appropriately --- see the examples in
/etc/defaults/make.conf. If that doesn't fulfil your requirements,
you could try the mail/sendmail port, which has this list of make(1)
defines available:
# Options to define Features:
# SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_IPV6=yes
# SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_MILTER=yes
# SENDMAIL_WITH_TLS=yes
# SENDMAIL_WITH_SASL=yes
# SENDMAIL_WITH_SASL2=yes
# SENDMAIL_WITH_LDAP=yes
# SENDMAIL_WITH_PICKY_HELO_CHECK=yes
By default, the port will install all it's files under /usr/local and
modify the mailwrapper(8) configuration to make the ports version of
sendmail the active one.
Cheers,
Matthew
