Following a recent jump from pre openrc to post openrc via emerge -vuD world, sendmail is now failing to authenticate with my Smart host.
I'll say in advance that I am not interested in switching MTAs for the inevitable suggestions to switch to a different MTA. Far as I know nothing has changed with my Smart Host... (comcast.net) and I haven't changed any sendmail config files. But following along with the smtp conversation with mail -v I see my messages meet a hefty pause at the point were my machine shakes hands with the smtp.comcast.net server. (The output is inlined at the end). There is no mention of authentication failing it just says the connection is `deferred' and then times out. Sendmail-8.14.2 here You can see from output below that the message makes it past my local submit agent and then following the line that says: 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself >>> .
