To build sendmail with SASL, either use the ports version in mail/sendmail, where you can select SASL as one of the options, or add: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=3D-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=3D2 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=3D-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=3D-lsasl2 to /etc/make.conf -- see /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf for more details. This will give you a SASL-enabled base system sendmail once you rebuild it. Note that the second choice makes your base system dependent on stuff external to it, which may or may not be desirable. Oh, and before anyone else chimes in with a knee-jerk reaction about using sendmail: there are other MTAs that can provide this functionality. As an alternative, either postfix or exim could do what you want too. Sendmail works just fine for me though.
