    Hi!

    I am looking to implement SMTP-AUTH with Sendmail on Solaris 10.
    However, it does appear that I'd have to compile a new version from
    sendmail.org as well as SASL, since the Sun implementation doesn't have
    saslauthd.

    This whole thing seems to become a pain in the neck in addition to the
    fact that I'd lose Sun support.

    So I started looking around for any light-weight proxy type program that
    could do the SMTP-AUTH portion for me and then let me talk to Sendmail.
    I imagine I would install such a piece of software on my external mail
    relay. I would prefer to be able to authenticate via passwd file, NIS or
    LDAP rather than a special passwd database.

    I haven't found anything that specifically caught my eye yet. Open
    source would be preferable, but I am open to commercial software as well.

    If you've solved this problem in the past or have ideas on how to do it,
    I would like to hear what you have to say.

    Thanks in advance!

    -Alex
