<div dir="ltr">I'm having trouble getting cyrus sasl to work with sendmail on debian.<div><br></div><div>I have sendmail offering authentication:</div><div><br></div><div><div>250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5</div>

However, when I use sendmail to authenticate, I see nothing. Even if I try the authentication in sendmail by hand (i.e. by crafting the base64 username and password).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Nothing useful in the logs. </div><div><br></div><div>It's as if sendmail isn't even trying to contact saslauthd, yet it is offering those possible auth methods above.</div><div><br></div><div>
Any ideas? Any clues as to how to get sendmail to tell me what it's doing or not doing with respect to authentication?</div><div><br></div><div>Michael Grant</div></div>
