I can't get LOGIN authentication to work with Outlook Express (nor
with Outlook 2000 and I suspect the problem is the same). I've
searched FAQ and archives, and can't find a solution, which is strange
as this must be a common problem.
Outlook tries to close the connection when exim provides the Login
prompt after the 'AUTH LOGIN' command.
I'm using Outlook Express 5.50+ on Win98 & Exim 3.32 on Linux.
I would be very grateful for any help.
In detail, the exchanges are (more detail below):
S 220 miranda.xx.yy ESMTP Exim 3.32 #2 Tue, 04 Sep 2001 15:05:00 -0400
C EHLO michael
S 250-miranda.xx.yy Hello michael.xx.yy [192.168.1.6]
S 250-SIZE
S 250-PIPELINING
S 250-AUTH LOGIN
S 250 HELP
C AUTH LOGIN
S 334 VXNlciBOYW1lOg==
C ??
S 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
C ??
My configuration is:
fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "User Name:: : Password::"
server_condition = ${if and {{eq{$1}{ph10}}{eq{$2}{secret}}}{yes}{no}}
server_set_id = $1
And of course, this works OK when tested via telnet.
Here is part of the capture from ethereal:
