I think we have to support rfc2554 autenthication (With MECH LOGIN for
Outlook) out of the box if we are serius about mailserver and security.
Sendmail 8.9 closed relaying and created a problem with mobile users. This
is the standard solution on that problem.
Support for autentication is more important than STARTTLS in my opinion
but the problem is we have to import another supportlibrary in the base
system.
A make.conf knob to use a userinstalled library may create problems with
different versions of Cysus-SASL. I had some problems with that when
uppgrading my mailservers to Sendmail 8.10.
