Did you rebuild sendmail with the right flags so that it would enable
all the SASL bits? Apart from that you seem to have done all the right
stuff that I can see.
You need to add this to /etc/make.conf:
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2
and then rebuild sendmail -- assuming you have system sources installed:
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
# make clean
# make
# make install
If you haven't got the system sources installed, then you can get them
easily enough with csup(1) or freebsd-update(8) or several other ways.
Or you could just install sendmail from ports -- obviously, make sure to
choose the option to enable SASL in the config dialogue. If you use the
ports sendmail, so long as you set up mailer.conf(5) to point to the
ports version -- like so:
lucid-nonsense:/etc/mail:% cat mailer.conf
# $FreeBSD: stable/8/etc/mail/mailer.conf 93858 2002-04-05 04:25:14Z
gshapiro $
#
# Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
#
sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
send-mail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
newaliases /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
hoststat /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
purgestat /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
and put the following in /etc/make.conf so it uses the latest
configuration file bits:
SENDMAIL_CF_DIR= /usr/local/share/sendmail/cf
MAKEMAP= /usr/local/sbin/makemap
then the ports sendmail is pretty much a drop-in replacement for the
system one, and you can use all the config bits in /etc/mail in exactly
the same way as normal.
Cheers,
Matthew
