Maybe due to my incompetency in understanding English, to this day I
used to believe that this quote:
''When Exim is receiving SMTP mail, it is acting as a server; when it
is sending out messages over SMTP, it is acting as a client.
Configuration options are provided for use in both these circumstances.
The different authentication mechanisms. These are configured by
specifying "authenticator" drivers for Exim. Like the directors,
routers, and transports, which authenticators are included in the
binary is controlled by build-time definitions.'' (excerpt from Exim
manual)
means that Exim can authenticate itself as a client to other servers.
Correct me, if I'm wrong.
best regards,
Jubal

Anything is good and useful if it's made of chocolate.
