I am trying to get SMTP authentication working properly here.

The AUTH PLAIN is working fine, and now Mulberry works.

I am still having problems with Outlook and Eudora which seem to expect
AUTH LOGIN. I have patched exim for the AUTH=LOGIN bug in Outlook.

When I try to authenticate SMTP from Outlook it reports 535 Incorrect
authentication data

Heres the authenticators section of my configure file, can anyone see a
problem? Is there a better way to do this with just one login and password
for everyone.

plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = "${if and{ {eq{$2}{user}} {eq{$3}{password}} } {1}{0}}"
server_set_id = $2

login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = "${if and{ {eq{$2}{user}} {eq{$3}{password}} } {1}{0}}"
server_set_id = $1
