Hello to all,
I´m having problems in using the SMTP AUTH feature implemented in exim. I
digged through the mailing list (or at least, most of it) and the manual
and I think I did just as described. Doesn´t work, though.
I am running EXIM 3.16 under a Linux 2.2.13 system (installed Suse
distribution). Just to let you know, in case... ;)))
My outgoing mail is supposed to be delievered through a smart host
mailout.charente.de, which is running qmail and wants me to authenticate.
Although I tried to copy´n´paste all the stuff from the manual, exim will
never authenticate.
Excerpt from exim.conf:
>>>>>>>>><<
# This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections.
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
authenticate_hosts = mailout.charente.de : 212.98.87.209 : charente.de
[...]
smart_route:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* mailout.charente.de bydns_a"
[...]

As you see, I am supposed to use my email as username. I tried delievering
a mail using the -d5 flag, see what happened:

I noticed that the remote mailer says "AUTH=LOGIN". Exim says "AUTH
LOGIN", which is slightly different. Does this make any difference? qmail
is AFAIK well known for being strict with RFC.
Or have I just been puzzled when configuring exim? Any ideas?
Oh, just in case someone will ask: YES, I compiled exim with the options
to include authentification and checked it with exim -bP authenticators.
