Heh!  Sheer luck, sheer luck.

Great!  I didn't know this, but SASL is one of the examples I could
easily find in /usr/src to copy/ into the reply :-)

Cool!  Just another useful bit, then, now that you got it all going.

Now you have to make sure you remember to rebuild Sendmail whenever
these libraries change version number.  An easy way to do this is using
something like:

% gothmog:/home/build/src# cat -n ../rebuild-sendmail.sh
%      1  #!/bin/sh
%      2
%      3  DIRS=""
%      4  DIRS="${DIRS} ./bin/rmail"
%      5  DIRS="${DIRS} ./lib/libmilter"
%      6  DIRS="${DIRS} ./lib/libsm"
%      7  DIRS="${DIRS} ./lib/libsmdb"
%      8  DIRS="${DIRS} ./lib/libsmutil"
%      9  DIRS="${DIRS} ./libexec/mail.local"
%     10  DIRS="${DIRS} ./libexec/smrsh"
%     11  DIRS="${DIRS} ./usr.bin/vacation"
%     12  DIRS="${DIRS} ./usr.sbin/editmap"
%     13  DIRS="${DIRS} ./usr.sbin/mailstats"
%     14  DIRS="${DIRS} ./usr.sbin/makemap"
%     15  DIRS="${DIRS} ./usr.sbin/praliases"
%     16  DIRS="${DIRS} ./usr.sbin/sendmail"
%     17
%     18  export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/build/obj
%     19
%     20  for dname in ${DIRS} ; do
%     21          ( cd "${dname}" && make clean && make && make install )
%     22          if test $? -ne 0 ; then
%     23                  echo ""
%     24                  echo ">>> FAILED while rebuilding ${dname}"
%     25                  exit 1
%     26          fi
%     27  done
% gothmog:/home/build/src#

I keep this script just one folder upwards of my usual build tree, and
then run it inside `/home/build/src' to rebuild the Sendmail bits.

Have fun,
