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
