Usually, testsaslauthd needs a service name. In this case,

testsaslauthd -u username -p mypassword -s smtp

If your password has any characters a shell might misinterpret (*, !,
<, >, &, ...), make sure you enclose it in quotation marks.

What have you seen in your logs (usually /var/log/maillog on CentOS
systems)? If sendmail is having trouble setting up TLS/SSL, it will
let you know!

You may have to post the entire contents of your sendmail.mc (the m4
file), redacted as necessary to obscure any non-relevant bits that may
be sensitive.

Alexander... Paul,

My apologies for taking so long to reply. I did get everything worked out and if I'm honest I had to go through all the crap I went through to get everything work; including TLS. Working with MS Exchange and other MS server environment products, not to mention all the other things included in that, have made my linux skills rather rusty.

Now that I've done it and actually understand what's going on I can't believe how blasted easy it really is and feel a little foolish; mostly for allowing my Linux skills to get rusty to begin with. Hell! my CentOS 5 server simply runs, doesn't complain, doesn't break down or choke and puke on updates. (thats one of the reasons I use to justify my skills getting rusty. ;P )

But, thank you gentlemen for your assistance. It is appreciated.

Now... one last question: Is it better to use self-signed certs for Sendmail, or is it better to get CA Authority signed certs for sendmail? I get all my web server certs from Go Daddy, but from what I've read so far Sendmail seems to experience issues with CA Authority signed certs that contain a common name and I /believe/ certs from places like Go Daddy require the common name field no be empty.

thanks in advance...
