Hi John,

I moaned about this here:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2022/04/21/msg028435.html

I found that downgrading to cyrus-sasl 2.1.27 from 2.1.28 fixed 
it for me, but I guess the root cause is that 2.1.28 tickles the 
sendmail bug whereas 2.1.27 does not.

I say get it committed and get pullups requested as currently pkgsrc 
2022Q1 does not have working SMTP AUTH.
