My ISP is changing its email system to now require SMTP authentication so I
am reconfiguring exim 3.35 to use SMTP client-side authentication. Several
people use the computer, and each has his own email account with
the ISP. The computer has a DSL connection and runs 24/7.
I am somewhat of a newbie with exim and would like some advice on how to
best do this.
I built a file of uid's and ISP usernames and passwords with lines like:
1000: ^username1^password1
1001: ^username2^password2
The file's uid.gid is set to mail.mail and mode 0640. This matches
exim's euid.egid on Debian GNU/Linux testing, which is the computer's
OS.
The Authentication Configuration section of exim config file includes
this:
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = "${lookup{$originator_uid}lsearch{/etc/exim/smtp-passwd}{$value}}"
This setup looks like it work correctly.
Is there a better way to do this?
Please cc me in your reply as I am not a member of the list.
TIA
