Lately I'm trying to move to binary updates on amd64, which means not rebuilding parts of the world by hand. So I installed mail/sendmail package which is built with authentication support (sendmail+tls+sasl2-8.15.1). I followed the config instructions at the end of the install message and things seem to work fine. I think it's worth mentioning, at the very beginning of http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/SMTP-Auth.html that using sendmail from ports is a convenient alternative to these instructions. Are there any downsides to using sendmail from ports vs the OS sendmail? Anton
