Hello,
I have some problem letting Exim (3.12) to authenticate itself as a client
to a smarthost.
This is what the smarthost announce:
220 ptsv123.portal ESMTP Service (Lotus Domino Release 5.0.6a)
ready at Fri, 1 Jun 2001 10:56:14 +0200
EHLO maestrale
250-ptsv123.portal Hello maestrale ([195.110.109.4]), pleased to
meet you
250-HELP
250-AUTH=LOGIN
250 SIZE 20480000
Despite the Exim configuration below, no authentication is attempted by
Exim.
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
authenticate_hosts = *
auth_login_client:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = ": username : secret"
I found an old posting reporting the problem being about "AUTH=LOGIN"
(not RFC compliant) versus "AUTH LOGIN" (RFC compliant, expected by Exim).
Because the smarthost is managed by Telecomitalia (pachydermic,
monopolistic Italian telco), I think that is impossible to ask them to
change Lotus Domino with something else.
Is there a way to force Exim to do AUTH LOGIN in any case?
Or may be I missed something and the fault is on my side?
Thanks very much.
