Hi,
I do have a system that uses sendmail and SMTP authentication, which is done
through the saslauthd daemon (comes as cyrus-sasl-* RPMs in RedHat/CentOS). The
sasl daemon uses a tcpip imap connection to another machine which runs dovecot
2.1.5 (was working previously with 1.2).
The options to set in sendmail.mc (you might want different mechanisms):
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN')
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')
and then configure saslauthd to connect to your imap server.
