Hi,

I'm using (Debian) Linux with exim v3. I try to have a setup as follows:

Several users (actually different identites of mine) shall be able to send
mail through my ISP, which uses SMTP auth PLAIN and/or LOGIN, using the same
account at my ISP.

My account at my ISP is ujr and I have a user ujr on my home PC. SMTP auth
works (config see below). However, if I'm logged in as another user, say
`test', mail is rejected. As far as I can tell from the log, this is related
to the fact, that exim appends AUTH to the mail commands.

How can I prevent that?

Now the relevant part of the config file:
...
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
authenticate_hosts = postman.arcor.de
...
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = "^ujr^secret"
...

From the docs I found on google, this should work. But postman.arcor.de
complains about the sender's domain. However, this should not be the
reason, because the user ujr@??? can send mail. BTW, the reason
for the freeze is, that I first sent the mail before the dial-in was
complete. I only included it for completeness.

The setup I try should not be too strange. How can this be done if the above will never
work?

Thank you!
