the most common Misconception of ASMTP and Cyrus is that CRAM-MD5 and
DIGEST-MD5 and such work with PAM.

They do not, you need to make sure that you are using PLAINTEXT or
otherwise you will have to add users into /usr/local/etc/sasldb2 which
is not exactly fun.

As far as sendmail i'm not much of help I can explain it with Postfix
pretty easily but I don't use Sendmail anymore alas.

If you have any questions feel free to comment.
