Try sendmail -bt -d0.1 to see if sasl support is enabled. If not recompile sendmail or install the sendmail with sasl support package (sendmail+tls+sasl2-8.13.1) and cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.19 (see then /usr/local/share/doc/cyrus-sasl2/Sendmail.README) 2) a) Add this from cyrus-sasl documentation to your sendmail.mc: dnl ################################### dnl # From cyrus-sasl Sendmail-README # dnl ################################### dnl # The group needs to be mail in order dnl # to read the sasldb2 file define(`confRUN_AS_USER',`root:mail')dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS',`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN')dnl define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',`GroupReadableSASLDBFile')dnl b) Enable smtp authentication to your sendmail.mc file e.g.: dnl ####################### dnl # SMTP AUTHENTICATION # dnl ####################### define(`SMART_HOST', `[me.myself.andI]')dnl FEATURE(`authinfo')dnl The FEATURE(`authinfo') is optional (see herefore the cf.README of sendmail). Create a /etc/mail/authinfo file (they should not be readable by anyone).The authinfo file should contain something like this: AuthInfo:me.myself.andI "U:myusername" "P:mypassword" The cd to /etc/mail and do: makemap hash authinfo < authinfo chmod 600 authinfo authinfo.db 3) Install ypur new sendmail.mc file, restart sendmail and test your configuration.
