This is a relatively fresh install, and I did update my ports with 
portsnap / portmanager, then cvsuped src-all and ran buildworld before 
playing around with this.  I did not run make clean before the 
buildworld process though.  I did attempt to rebuild just sendmail after 
I started having these problems:

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
make clean
make depend
make
make install

Nothing changed though.

I was thinking on this a bit further, and although I don't have any of 
the error messages, I believe I was running into similar issues with 
Postfix last week.  The box in question died on me, I don't have a 
battery backup and we had a brownout.  While fscking the system because 
of the first brownout, we had a second, which rendered the box useless. 
    I recall moving the unused sasl mechanisms out of 
/usr/local/lib/sasl2 into a "deactivated" directory (per some how-tos), 
and ended up with plain being the only mechanism left, and Postfix 
started giving error messages about no mechanisms available and couldn't 
seem to find plain text.  I figured I screwed something up with Postfix, 
and went back to sendmail for this install until I had more time to play 
around with Postfix.  I'll try the make clean / buildworld thing tonight 
to see if that helps, and post back if it doesn't.

Best regards,
Greg Groth
