Your first step is to download, compile and install the OpenSSL libraries.

Youll need to download, compile and install the latest version of Berkeley
DB from sleepycat software.

Your next step is to download, compile and install the cyrus SASL
libraries. Configure saslauthd to run at boot time and select an
authentication mechanism for it to use (I use pam, then set up pam to
consult my LDAP database).

You'll probably want to rip out the sendmail-related SUNW packages.

After that, you need to download, compile (and link against the OpenSSL and
Cyrus SASL libraries) and install sendmail.

You'll need to get or generate an SSL certificate and install it on your
system.

Youll need to configure sendmail to tell it where to find the certificate
file(s).

If all goes well, you should have a sendmail instance that speaks AUTH+TLS
in a fairly short amount of time.
