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.
