I've been using the recipe mentioned in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/SMTP-Auth.html
for a number of years.

Just recently, following the openssl bug,
I've heard that the alternative to the
handbook route is port mail/sendmail-sasl.
I haven't tried that port, but it seems
the differences are potentially only due
to the different versions of sendmail and
openssl in base and in ports.

I wonder if mail/sendmail-sasl should be
mentioned in the same section as an alternative?
Or perhaps there is a reason why mail/sendmail-sasl
is not recommended in the handbook?

Anton
