I assumed because of the old version of your existing installation a less actively maintained situation and made a snap judgement about your experience. I also never said sendmail is not a solid MTA. I stated it is extremely difficult to maintain. Also other MTA are well suited for high traffic servers. Exim is used by ISPs with extremely high traffic. > > The issue here is that Sendmail with SASL auth doesn't seem to work the > same way in Bullseye as it did in Wheezy, which is probably to be expected, > given the large gap between versions.

Please check if courier-authdaemon or dovecot-core is installed. Both provide an sasl authdaemon. I do not know anything about your old installation so you have to figure out, how and where the unix socket of the daemon is located. If you use a chroot environment you must make sure the socket is accessible to sendmail. Cheers, -H [...] -- Henning Follmann | [email protected]
