Hello list,
I've been trying to get PLAIN and LOGIN SMTP auths working, so that they
would compare the password to one stored in a MySQL database. However,
I'm not at all sure how I'm supposed to accomplish this (need help with
constructing server_condition for the auths). I'm using Exim 4.10 on
Debian Woody.
First of all, here's my database layout:
mysql> desc accounts;
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| username | varchar(128) | | | | |
| domainname | varchar(64) | | | | |
| password | varchar(32) | | | | |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
The username field is the same as $local_part. The domainname field is
equal to $domain. I use this same table to do POP authentication with a
patched Qpopper. The reason why I have username and domain in separate
fields, is because I use virtual domains. Now, it would be great if
users could use the same usernames and passwords to SMTP AUTH as they
use with POP. For example, I would login with "atanos@???"
and my password.
The password field stores the passwords as MD5 hashes.
Anyone kind enough to provide me with a working server_condition, or
at least point me in the right direction?
Oh, and I sometimes get errors like this in Exim's main log, usually
when sending mail:
"failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp: File
exists"
Any ideas what might be causing that?
Thanks.
