If you're serious about security, you shouldn't support LOGIN (or PLAIN) unless adequate privacy protections are in place. If you're serious about standards, you won't support LOGIN. Given that OpenSSL is in the base system, there is little reason not to support BOTH StartTLS and SASL "out of the box". I would suggest the authentication defaults be relative secure, as in "noplain,noanonymous". This will force use of StartTLS to allow use of PLAIN/LOGIN mechanisms. >A make.conf knob to use a userinstalled library may create problems with >different versions of Cysus-SASL. I had some problems with that when >uppgrading my mailservers to Sendmail 8.10. I'd recommend bringing Cyrus-SASL into the base system eventually under the same rational used to bring OpenSSL in.
