partial sendmail breakage
I have a machine (call it ADAM) running: FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0: Tue Jul 24 08:55:46 EDT 2012 amd64 which has had no change to the mail components since that time. Approximately 12 hours ago, something in sendmail broke. Symptoms: 1) It works as a relay. I can send mail to ADAM from ADAM and from other machines for forwarding, and the forwarding happens correctly. 2) Fetchmail on ADAM no longer fetches. 3) Mail sent between users on ADAM never shows up. I have restarted sendmail and get this in /var/log/messages: Aug 10 08:26:56 jerusalem sm-mta[87853]: sql_select option missing Aug 10 08:26:56 jerusalem sm-mta[87853]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available I'm (obviously) not a sendmail expert; what other information should I provide to help figure out what went wrong?

You've implemented saslauth in this sendmail instance against some sort of SQL database. However something has caused sendmail to lose the ability to look up user accounts in that DB. Could be all sorts of things: is the DB running? Can you login to it manually using the same credentials as sendmail? Has there been any changes to DB schemas or user grants recently? How about changes to /usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf ? One thing you can try is turning up the log level in Sendmail.conf to get a better idea of what SASL is trying to do. Add a line log_level: N where N is an integer, bigger meaning more verbose logging. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
