sendmail + sasl == Broken?



Hi!

Here is my situation.  Prior to the latest security update for
sendmail in woody, I had SASL working using the sasldb for
SMTP_AUTH.  It worked fine with my woody version of Evolution, and I
was happy.

When I upgraded sendmail due to security problems, the
sendmailconfig program asked me if I wanted to use PAM, it didn't
say what for.  I stupidly said "yes".

Now, SMTP_AUTH no loger works from Evolution (every method says "bad
password").  I tried switching the /etc/mail/sasl/Sendmail.conf to
use sasldb again, but even that doesn't work.

I would really like to get this working again.  Using PAM would be
really keen, but I'd be happy to go back to using the sasldb.

Ideally, it would be set up so that:
  * It would only accept SMTP_AUTH if had STARTTLS'ed already.
  * It would work with PAM, so that the login/passwds would match
  imap/pop.

Can anyone help me? Please?

Ciao!
