Hi everyone,
I am using exim 3.35 from debian linux unstable. Yahoo! deliver
recently require authentication for the smtp service. And I have
trouble trying to set it up. Here are the things that I add to my
configuration.
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
authenticate_hosts = smtp.mail.yahoo.com
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = "myUsername+myPasswordInBase64"
the error message I got is using
exim -d -exim -d -M 16oTdE-0000RX-00
Exim version 3.35 debug level 1 uid=0 gid=0
Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 2.7.7: (08/20/99)
