Re: sasl seems to be ignoring my Sendmail.conf

Is sendmail compiled against saslv2?

try

mail# sendmail -bt -d0.1
Version 8.x.y
  Compiled with: DNSMAP IPV6_FULL LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER
                 MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX 
NEWDB NIS
                 PIPELINING SASLv2 SCANF SOCKETMAP STARTTLS TLS_EC
                 TLS_VRFY_PER_CTX USERDB XDEBUG


You should see SASLv2 in the list.  It's sendmail's job to read 
Sendmail.conf and it has to be in the sasl2 lib directory.  On my host 
that translates to:

/usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf
