Is this is OT then i'm sorry.

Trying to get sendmail act as a mua, following this tutorial

http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html

Scroll down a bit to Using send....

Is it really necessary to install cycrus-sasl2?

How do one make sendmail to pick sasl2 up when building sendmail. Is there a make.conf line I must add? When telnetting auth works but using telnet to send mail has a very low WAF.

I've installed cyrus-sasl2 but then what.

Yes -- you do need cyrus-sasl2 for this purpose.

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=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-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.

Is that rebuild as in cd /usr/src && make buildworld or cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail && make

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.

Cheers,

Matthew
