I've succeeded in getting Exim 4.02 compiled and running so that it
advertises SMTP AUTH. Now I need help configuring the authentication
section to correctly authenticate MS Outlook users.

Well I don't believe Outlook supports CRAM-MD5, only LOGIN. So you may
have
to resort to that anyway. Just make sure things are configured to only
advertise LOGIN over encrypted connections.

I found out the hard way, recently (after much loss of hair), that MS
Outlook does NOT support encrypted logins. You have to "upgrade" (cough
cough) to Outlook Express.
