Actually it might. Dovecot can do the sasl auth part. I have not touched sendmail in at least 10 years, so I do not know anything about the current default sendmail config but I know dovecot sasl auth is easier to config for postfix (5 lines in the postfix main.cf IIRC). I suppose it is possible that RH switched sendmail to user dovecot sasl in their default config. HTH, Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org Spamtrap address me123 at tdiehl.org
