Oh - it seems you want SASL. You want SASL? It's complicated, but possible with system sendmail. 1. Install cyrus-sasl and cyrus-sasl-saslauthd (version 2) from ports or pkg. Default configuration is okay. 2. Add to /etc/make.conf: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 SENDMAIL_LDADD=/usr/local/lib/libsasl2.so Note that the Handbook at 30.9 # 4 is _wrong_; this works. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/mail/#SMTP-Aut 3. Recompile system sendmail: # cd /usr/src/lib/libsm # make # cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil # make # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail # make # make install 4. Check: Now you have SASL2 support # sendmail -d0.1 -bt < /dev/null Now SASLv2 will be listed. If you actually need SASL to authenticate, start and configure the service accordingly. > There's a sendmail pkg.

Yes, that is a trend now... Good luck! Oh, one further thing to check: Your sendmail configuration. If your control file has define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl then maybe just remove the one that requires SASL, if you do not need it. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
