With suggested tweaks.
*) How do I enable ASMTP with sendmail?
To implement ASMTP, you must install a sendmail with SASL compiled
in. This requires the installation of the cyrus-sasl port.
You can then either recompile the system's sendmail as detailed in
/etc/defaults/make.conf (look for SASL) or install the sendmail-sasl
port, and replace the default sendmail with the one from that port.
Either edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to allow PLAIN AUTH (change
AuthMechanisms to contain PLAIN), or (better) create a new sendmail.cf.
Some help for this can be obtained from:
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html
More background is contained in
http://www.sendmail.org/~gshapiro/security.pdf
The FAQ authors would appreciate a report from somebody who has
actually used sendmail with ASMTP to augment this entry.
