Bug 14930 – Sendmail ebuld uses wrong define for SASL2

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Blu3 2003-02-01 17:33:16 UTC]

When compiling sendmail to use version to of the cyrus-sasl library, you should
use -DSASL=2 instead of -DSASL.  Cyrus-SASL version 2 is unsupported for
sendmail until roughly sendmail version 8.13.  the -DSASL=2 is an undocumented FFR.

I added your changes to sendmail-8.12.7-r5 and verified this is something utilized by 8.12.7.  Thanks for update!
