Hello list,
Just before you emabrk on your weekend proper, I have TWO major questions on
SMTP AUTH, one on 3.33 and the other on 3.952 (aka 4 beta)
On Exim-3.33 I have a working AUTH setup which correctly handles users who
are in my /etc/passwd. Maybe I need to say the users use username:encryptedpasswd
pair to AUTH.
I have another set of users, virtual in this case, using username@domain:encryptedpasswd
pair and the usernames/passwords are in MySQL database. Exim already has access to this
database. My questions on this are:
1. Is it possible to configure authenticators for these users in Exim-3.33? I am not
a database guru and the much I know is just the HOWTOs that I read to setup Exim
and TPOP3D. I scanned the archives
2. Is it possible also to setup authenticators for them in Exim-4?
3. On Exim-4: I built this from the FreeBSD ports and I checked the Local/Makefile
and saw the authenticators were compiled into the exim binary.
Exim-4 being new as it is, I haven't managed to get authentication working on my
test box. I have defined acl smtp_auth and also defined the authenticators (actually
they were left in place by the convert script). Exim-4 runs on the test box but when
I telnet to it and issue EHLO I don't see it advertising AUTH. I've scanned spec.txt
but seems I am missing something major.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'll be greatly obliged.
