Sendmail patch breaks plain text auth

[Paul Welsh]

Thanks for everyone's help on this.  I found the Howto on this page
http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/sendmail_smtp_auth_tls very useful.  In
fact, I was so pleased to be able to fix the problem that I sent the author
a donation; he saved my bacon!

I had the same problem but fixed it by doing the following.

# vi /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
(it should say pwcheck_method: saslauthd)

# vi /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd
(it should say MECH=pam)

Then run:
alternatives --config mta
and set it to sendmail

restart/start saslauthd
