Hi,
I was hoping there was an easier method than this. Oh well. I've configured exim authentication, but when I try to send, outlook rejects with an error. My syslog reads:
Nov 28 14:56:36 harvey stunnel[18841]: Connection closed: 20013 bytes sent to SSL, 388 bytes sent to socket
Nov 28 14:56:37 harvey imapd[18842]: Logout user=abc host=localhost [127.0.0.1]
I've added he following lines to my exim.conf:
[ to transport section ]
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
authenticate hosts = mail.example.com
[ to authentication section ]
fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send =: xxx : 1234
fixed_plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = ^xxx^1234
I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that the username and password has nothing to do with the users linux account and is basically just saying "if you know the password, we'll trust you and forward your mail." I know I can make it more account specific, but for the moment I just want something that works.
Again, thanks for any help in advance.
