You can install cyrus-sasl and recompile sendmail from /usr/src with WANT_SMTPAUTH=yes. If you use another MTA for this it makes OS upgrades simpler though - the sasl2 FLAVOR of postfix works nicely for me, here are the main configuration entries to set: /etc/postfix/main.cf - smtp_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_cert_file = /etc/mail/certs/mycert.pem smtp_tls_key_file = /etc/mail/certs/mykey.pem relayhost = [mail.messagingengine.com]:587 smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpw smtp_sasl_security_options = /etc/postfix/saslpw - [mail.messagingengine.com]:587 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:password and create the TLS certificates as described in starttls(8) (I might have missed something but this should get you most of the way).
