I set it up for a client once, only to find out that his users only use Outlook Express, which only supports LOGIN (obsolete) -- basically plain text transfer of passwords. :-P Check: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/mel/SASL_ClientRef.html > I understand I need crypto to get the OpenSSL libraries which > are needed for cyrus-sasl. OpenSSL is already part of the FreeBSD base system, so you can just start right away with installing cyrus-sasl. > I understand that cyrus-sasl must be installed for SMTP AUTH > to work.
