I'm currently running FreeBSD 10.3, with base sendmail. It works, but lacks SASL support. I found a mention of package sendmail+tls+sasl2 and thought I'd try that. After all, I have a running sendmail, how hard could it be? HAH! pkg install sendmail+tls+sasl2 "worked", in that it installed stuff and didn't report any error messages. I follow the first instruction: you should add in /etc/make.conf: SENDMAIL_CF_DIR= /usr/local/share/sendmail/cf So far, so good. Later, in the printed instructions, it says: To activate sendmail as your default mailer, call the target 'mailer.conf': $ cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail && make mailer.conf Your '/etc/mail/mailer.conf' should look like this: # # Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail # sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail I didn't do the make mailer.conf, because I don't understand why stuff in the ports tree is being referenced. This is a pkg, not a port. And then there's this: ls -l /usr/local/bin/sendmail ls: /usr/local/bin/sendmail: No such file or directory So that's kind of worrying. I go to /usr/local/share/sendmail/cf and read the README. It says to do this: This email is free of malware because I run Linux.
