[cobalt-users] sendmail smtp auth support on raq3

["Andrew Smith" <asmith@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
       I know this question has been asked before but as far as I can tell
from searching the archive it was almost 12 months ago (more recently on the
developer list).  Are there any plans for yet for cobalt to create a package
that will upgrade sendmail to 8.10 or greater with support for smtp auth
built in?  I've got as far as compiling and installing sasl and building
sendmail with sasl support, but I'm a bit timid to take the next step
(despite Barry Titmarsh's assurances on the developer list) and install it
since I can't find any clear explanations on the configuration requirements
to get sendmail to use esmtp and I'm also concerned that there may be
incompatibilities with the cobalt admin tools since there appears to be
quite a difference between the layout of pre and post version 8.9.  Can
anyone from cobalt shed any light on this? or has anyone else successfully
installed a smtp authenticating version of sendmail on a RAQ3.  Here's where
I'm at incase anyone is interested....

Freshly installed Cobalt Raq3i upgraded to:
All-Kernel_i386 Release 1.1
Cobalt OS Release 5.0
RaQ3-en-Update-OS Release 4.0

Cyrus SASL has been built and installed into /usr/local/lib/sasl and linked
to /usr/lib/sasl

{sendmail 8.11.2 build dir}/devtools/Site/site.config.m4 contains:
APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DSASL')
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lsasl')

{sendmail 8.11.2 build dir}/cf/cf/generic-linux.mc linked to {sendmail
8.11.2 build dir}/cf/cf/config.mc

sendmail builds with apparent sasl support

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Andrew
