Re: sendmail, port 465/587, auth and imap

Hi

replying to myself as I figured it (ouch!)

I had the correct stuff in the saslauth file:

  # this is VIA IMAP
  MECH=rimap 
  FLAGS="-O localhost -r"

but I forgot to exclude the FLAGS line which was at the end of that file:

  # Additional flags to pass to saslauthd on the command line.  See saslauthd(8)
  # for the list of accepted flags.
  # make sure you dont have double flags in here.
  FLAGS=

wiping FLAGS to null and sasl is complaining with
 
  Starting saslauthd: saslauthd[20677] :set_auth_mech   : failed to initialize mechanism rimap


Bugger.

My Carpenter has a 1956 VW Beetle. He still can go to any place in Australia, use any Oil, spark plugs, pertol, tires, wiper blades, etc available today with a car that old. If only software would be like that.
