Well, I've only gotten part-way there.
I've added these to my sendmail.mc:
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5')dnl
(similar to yours above)
and added passwords to sasldb with saslpasswd. To the best I can
figure, sendmail didn't start working with SASL until either my
"/etc/cram-md5.pwd" or "/etc/sasldb" was made mode 0400. I'm now to the
point that telneting in to sendmail on localhost and checking the ehlo
gives me the "250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5". That tells me sendmail
finally understands I've got SASL. Still, I'm getting "cannot relay"
errors when trying to send mail. I'm at a loss. Also, I don't think
SASL is checking sasldb, as passwords aren't working now, for checking
email with imapd, until I place them into /etc/cram-md5.pwd.
I think I'm missing something simple, but can't figure it out yet.
