RE: [Exim] Need help setting up SMTP AUTH

Well, what do you know, it works!

Thanks John.

I was using AUTH command once I telnet'ed in and EXIM reported no
authentication.

Using the ehlo command, I get the AUTH PLAIN LOGIN message. Looks like
it's working now.

Now I get to attempt to get it to authenticate against the Bynari LDAP
server, or my main Linux/Samba LDAP server.

Thanks again for your help.

It has by default a value of '*', so you shouldn't need to set it unless
you
are trying to exclude hosts from seeing the AUTH capability.

Did you restart exim (send a HUP signal to its pid)?

1) Enable the option in the Makefile (which you've done I gather);
2) Create the authenticators in the configure file (which I gather you
have
also done).
3) Restart exim.

All I did then was:

  telnet 0 25
  Trying 0.0.0.0...
  Connected to 0.
