Need help with Config Please AuthOptions Problem

[classix]

Using sendmail 8.11.6 on RedHat Linux 7.2

Was set up and operating properly

Used M4 tool in Webmin to add
FEATURE(`access_db',`hash -o /etc/mail/access.db')dnl
to block some problem spammers...
added the domains to access.db via the webmin tool

now NO mail can get to any of the domains on the server (not exactly the filter I was trying for)
And no one can connect to the server to send email

Checked my boot log and find:

Feb 1 00:00:37 classix sendmail: sendmail shutdown succeeded
Feb 1 00:00:37 classix sendmail: Warning: Option: AuthOptions requires SASL support (-DSASL)
Feb 1 00:00:37 classix sendmail: Warning: Option: AuthOptions requires SASL support (-DSASL)
Feb 1 00:00:37 classix sendmail: sendmail startup succeeded

I dont need login Auth ..

Any Help is appreciated !

Try changing the line to this:

FEATURE(`access_db',`hash -T<TMPF> -o /etc/mail/access.db')dnl

I'm not sure that this is what is causing your problem though. Are you sure you didn't do anything else just before this started? I'm inclined to think that there is a line something like this missing:

define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl

or one of these have been uncommented by removing the &quot;dnl&quot; in front of them:

dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl

Thanks ..

I reloaded the original cf and mc files that worked before I made the changes ..still no go ... sendmail is running but thats about it

referring to the lines you qouted
I have:

FEATURE(`access_db',`hash -o /etc/mail/access.db')dnl
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl
dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl

These were the files as originally set up and they worked well for years...

The changes I made were done in webmin and no errors were reported

NOTE TO SELF: DON'T TOUCH SENDMAIL AGAIN !!

Thanks for the help
