I have been able to get Evolution to successfully authenticate to a
sendmail server using "LOGIN" against the server's local user accounts,
(/etc/passwd and shadow).  

However I have NOT been able to get it to authenticate using DIGEST-MD5
against the sasldb.

Does anyone have experience with sendmail DIGEST-MD5 authentication?  If
so, have you been able to get it to work successfully with Evolution?

Any suggestion as to what to look at next?

Some debugging steps so far:

Client: ximian Evolution 1.4 on RH9/2.4.20-20.9 kernel
Server: Sendmail 8.12.8 on RH9/2.4.20-20.9 kernel

I have been able to use the sasl-sample-client to authenticate to
sasl-sample-server using /etc/sasldb on the server.

I have tried several configurations in /usr/lib/sasl/Sendmail.conf
including pwcheck_method:sasldb.  None of them have been successful.

ltrace indicates that sendmail is looking for /usr/..../Sendmail.conf
and /etc/sasldb.

The following is output from syslog on the server showing sendmail fails
to approve the clients auth request.
