Hi, I do have a system that uses sendmail and SMTP authentication, which is done through the saslauthd daemon (comes as cyrus-sasl-* RPMs in RedHat/CentOS). The sasl daemon uses a tcpip imap connection to another machine which runs dovecot 2.1.5 (was working previously with 1.2). The options to set in sendmail.mc (you might want different mechanisms): define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p') TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN') define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN') and then configure saslauthd to connect to your imap server.
