 If you have specific problems with setting up Sendmail for SMTP AUTH 
 using Cyrus SASL 2.x, then posting to the tech-pkg@NetBSD.org or then 
 netbsd-users@NetBSD.org will likely get you the help that you you're 
 looking for.  Sendmail and Cyrus SASL 2.x have been known to be working 
 for well over a year by now, so the problems you're experiencing are 
 probably due to misconfiguration.  I am not a sendmail user, so I will 
 not be able to provide you with definitive help in this case.  However, 
 a quick Google search for "sendmail SMTP AUTH" came back with several 
 how-to's and guides for such a setup.
