[WBEL-users] Sendmail SMTP Auth fail after upgrade

Hi List

I've recently installed Cyrus-Imap 2.2.3 with MailScanner and ClamAv on
my WB server and all was working 100% fine until yum installed the
latest version of sendmail (8.12.11).

Now, although all users can still receive mail ( and thus authenticate
when receiving), when they try to send out, the server fails to
authenticate them even though I know that they have entries in sasldb2.

I posted this question on other forums as well, and the only reply so
far has something to do with the new version of sendmail that apparently
has LDAP support compiled in, and LDAp also needs SASL to authenticate.
What seems to have happened is that LDAP cannot work with SASL2, so that
is supposedly why SMTP ( which worked fine with SALS2) does not work
anymore...

So, even though I know why it's not working, I still don't know how to
fix this problem, since I don't know how to use SASL v1 instead of
SASL2? I have both /usr/lib/sasl AND /usr/lib/sasl2.

Does anyone on this list have experience with resolving this issue?(I
saw related posts from a couple of months ago, but no resolutions)

Regards
