Hi Matt,
I've not tried to do the "by hand" auth but I have set a static user and
password and still I cant get authentication to work,
I have built Exim to run as root,
I cant understand why I am having so many problems, sendmail auth was a snip
and exim is now running on the same machine as the was working sendmail with
auth
Starting to get a little frustrated now after two days!
Regards
Nick
