OK, that's an option too.

Now I would check if sasl works. There is an little helper program; try:
testsaslauthd -u <username> -p <password>

you might have to specify the location (-f path) of the unix socket if it is located
somewhere uncommon.

If your authentication works then the communication between sendmail and saslauthd
is not working.

Hello,

The testsaslauthd utility was also working, so the break was between Sendmail and SASL.  I finally got it working, though.  A Google search led me to these three commands, and running them indeed fixed gthe issue:
  
    /usr/share/sendmail/update_tls
    /usr/share/sendmail/update_sendmail
    sendmailconfig

All of the config and .m4 files involved here still look the same between the old and new server, with the exception of some updated comments.  So, I'm not exactly sure what this did to fix the underlying problem, but it's fixed nonetheless.

Thanks!
Dave
