HI,
Ok, a couple of days ago, Josh Tolbert told me to check out his site for how
to setup sendmail+SMTP AUTH+SSL/TLS. So, I went to your (Josh's) site and
followed the directions. Now however, sendmail doesn't even want to start.
Actually, more correctly, it doesn't want to stay running.
If I do: /etc/rc.d/sendmail start
sendmail starts and is actually listening on port 25 for all of 30 seconds,
then that section of sendmail dies. Then, all I have is this left over from
the start of sendmail (gleened by doing "sockstat | grep sendmail"):
smmsp sendmail 5085 3 dgram -> /var/run/log
root sendmail 5082 4 dgram -> /var/run/logpriv
root sendmail 5082 6 tcp4 192.168.2.23:63862 204.17.36.86:25
Doing "tail /var/log/maillog" yeilds this:

Other than the below lines my <hostname>.mc file is unaltered. These are the
only lines I've added:
dnl set SASL options
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl
#define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS',`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl
#TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl
#define(`CERT_DIR', `/etc/mail/certs')dnl
#define(`confCACERT_PATH', `CERT_DIR')dnl
#define(`confCACERT', `CERT_DIR/whitbap_cert.pem')dnl
#define(`confSERVER_CERT', `CERT_DIR/whitbap_cert.pem')dnl

#DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA')dnl
The commented stuff is what I added from Josh's web site. The stuff above it
is what I added following some other instructions a couple of days ago. I
made these changes from the instructions in the handbook,
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html. I
uncommented them because before I made the changes to use SSL, it (sendmail)
worked. Now it's not so I was trying to back the changes out just to see if
sendmail would work again, but it's not. What is going on?
