I changed that. Now it's

-rw-r-----  1 root  mail  16384 Aug 22 17:23 /usr/local/etc/sasldb.db

with the following sendmail.mc entries:

dnl set SASL options
define(`confRUN_AS_USER',`root:mail')dnl
define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',`GroupReadableSASLDBFile')dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl
define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO', `/etc/mail/auth-info')dnl


> Have you read /usr/local/share/doc/cyrus-sasl/Sendmail.README?

I've just ran through that now, but I'm still getting the same error.

>What do you have in /etc/mail/auth-info? Is that set up correctly?

not set up
