Hello all,
I've been googling my brains out since yesterday looking for up-to-date information on this matter, and have found information that is
anywhere from
15 to 5 years old. I'd really like some information that much more
up to date
on the subject. Specifically configuring Sendmail SMTP
authentication (_no
smart host stuff_).
I wrote this article years ago:
https://www.madboa.com/geek/sendmail-auth/
The configuration outlined there is essentially unchanged today. I have it running on a CentOS 7 machine with sendmail 8.14.
The only real change is the SOCKETDIR setting in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd, which is now /run/saslauthd (rather than /var/run/saslauthd). And, of course, I use systemctl rather thachkconfig to control boot-time behavior.
The trickier bit for me was stopping and restarting the whole SMTP toolchain, which includes spamassassin, clavav, and opendmarc. Below my .sig, I've included the shell script I use for that.

Hi Paul,
I followed your guide to the letter, however I think it seems I missed something. When I test with telnet to port 25 this is the result:
telnet merlin 25
