This is a relatively fresh install, and I did update my ports with
portsnap / portmanager, then cvsuped src-all and ran buildworld before
playing around with this. I did not run make clean before the
buildworld process though. I did attempt to rebuild just sendmail after
I started having these problems:
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
make clean
make depend
make
make install
Nothing changed though.
I was thinking on this a bit further, and although I don't have any of
the error messages, I believe I was running into similar issues with
Postfix last week. The box in question died on me, I don't have a
battery backup and we had a brownout. While fscking the system because
of the first brownout, we had a second, which rendered the box useless.
I recall moving the unused sasl mechanisms out of
/usr/local/lib/sasl2 into a "deactivated" directory (per some how-tos),
and ended up with plain being the only mechanism left, and Postfix
started giving error messages about no mechanisms available and couldn't
seem to find plain text. I figured I screwed something up with Postfix,
and went back to sendmail for this install until I had more time to play
around with Postfix. I'll try the make clean / buildworld thing tonight
to see if that helps, and post back if it doesn't.
Best regards,
Greg Groth
