I'm running fc7 (updated). I updated via yum from fc6. Oddly, Cyrus continued to work after the upgrade (it usually breaks). This time it was sendmail that broke, even though I'm running with a fairly stock system. The extent of my sendmail.mc edits are below. I get messages from sendmail saying that my client (Thunderbird on Windows Vista and FC7), well: Sep 29 19:21:59 mail sendmail[5288]: STARTTLS=server, relay=pvr.redfish-solutions.com [192.168.1.8], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=NO, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 Sep 29 19:22:23 mail sendmail[5288]: l8U1LxLB005288: pvr.redfish-solutions.com [192.168.1.8]: possible SMTP attack: command=AUTH, count=4 Sep 29 19:22:30 mail sendmail[5288]: l8U1LxLB005288: pvr.redfish-solutions.com [192.168.1.8] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA-v4 Sep 29 19:23:05 mail sendmail[5295]: STARTTLS=server, relay=pvr.redfish-solutions.com [192.168.1.8], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=NO, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 but if I turn off TLS, it seems to work ok (using username/password authentication in the clear, I guess). Since it's TLS, I couldn't use tcpdump to read the transactions... Here are the sendmail.mc edits.
