As far as getting SSL up and running, I had better luck using stunnel instead of compiling SSL into each service. With one certificate to manage, I now have SSL encryption on IMAP, POP3, SMTP HTTP. Of course the sites that are being protected are for internal use at our company, so no one complains that we're using a self-signed certificate and the names don't match, YMMV. If Sendmail does return the right AUTH parameters, and you're still having issues, test saslauthd. Make sure you have the following in Sendmail.conf: pwcheck_method: saslauthd I have not needed to add 'mech_list: login plain' to Sendmail.conf to get this to work. Make sure saslauthd is running. If not then: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/./saslauthd start test the authentication: # /usr/local/sbin/testsaslauthd -u username -p password 0: OK Success. If you get an error with saslauthd at this point, the problem is there. If this works OK, but you're not getting the right AUTH response during your telnet connection, your problem is probably how Sendmail was compiled. HTH. If all seems to be in order, and you're still having issues, what other ports do you have on the machine? I've run into problems the same as yours with both Postfix and Sendmail after installing quite a few other ports. During my last rebuild, I installed Postfix and sasl2 out of the gate, and have had no issues. I think in my case, something else I installed before the MTA SASL2 screwed something up, but I could not determine where the fault was and ended up reinstalling.
