Sounds like you're running SLES 7. In order to use TLS with sendmail, the sendmail program must be compiled with SASL support included. The one with SLES 7 was not compiled with the right options, so TLS will not work unless you rebuild sendmail. Your options are: 1) Install SASL, OpenSSL, and rebuild sendmail from the source at www.sendmail.org. 2) Upgrade to a more modern sendmail RPM. SuSE has one for SLES 7 if you have a support agreement. 3) Switch to exim or postfix. In any case sendmail 8.11 does have some open exploits. You should do 1 or 2 immediately in any case. Also, since you've been looking for some fairly advanced features, you may seriously want to consider #3. Of the two, exim is probably more full-featured, and it's quite a bit easier to configure than sendmail. (hard for me to say: I've used sendmail for decades. I like sendmail.. but it's time to move on.) -- db
