Verifying the Cyrus SASL Setup

This section discusses how to verify the Cyrus SASL setup.

Follow this procedure to verify the Cyrus SASL setup:

From the system where you have configured the client to the Sendmail 8.13.3 SASL server, enter the following commands to send mails to the Sendmail 8.13.3 server:
echo "TEST MAIL" | sendmail -v username@server.domain | test.log

echo "TEST MAIL" | sendmail –v root@XXX.yyy.com | test.log
You can also use other mail clients, such as elm, mailx, and mail, to send mails.

Ensure that you receive a similar message, specified as follows, to denote that the Cyrus SASL setup is working properly:

 ">>> AUTH CRAM-MD5 
334 PDM2MzU1OTY5NDEuNDkxNjA3OEBpbmV0MTEuaW5kaWEuaHAuY29tPg== >
>> cm9vdCBmNWFkMGIyMDQzZGE2YTNkZmUwOTUxYWU2ZTU5NTg2Yg
== 235 2.0.0 OK Authenticated"




	NOTE: This message varies with the `AUTH` mechanism used, but you must receive the `235 2.0.0 OK Authenticated` message to denote that the Cyrus SASL setup is working properly. On the peer system, ensure that you receive the `authenticated bits=0` message in the corresponding message header.
