Description James E. Housley 2001-03-12 11:50:01 UTC 
	
	When adding SASL support to sendmail for SMTP AUTH; STARTTLS 
	becomes active, with the current configuration.  STARTTLS needs
	either an openSSL generated certificate or one from an issuing
	authority.  The first causes warning about unknow issuer and the
	second cost more then an average user has to spend.

	However, STARTTLS is not needed for SMTP AUTH to operate.  And
	the attached patch fixes this.
