Thanks to you folks on this list, I got Exim working for sending and
receiving. However, when I try to relay from home using SMTP_AUTH, I get
the error message
"unrecognized command (500)".
Here is my part of my conf file:
######################################################################
# ACL CONFIGURATION #
# Specifies access control lists for incoming SMTP mail #
######################################################################
begin acl
# This access control list is used for every RCPT command in an incoming
# SMTP message. The tests are run in order until the address is either
# accepted or denied.
acl_check_rcpt:
# Accept if the source is local SMTP (i.e. not over TCP/IP). We do this by
# testing for an empty sending host field.
accept hosts = :
# Deny if the local part contains @ or % or / or | or !. These are rarely
# found in genuine local parts, but are often tried by people looking to
# circumvent relaying restrictions.
deny local_parts = ^.*[@%!/|]
# Accept mail to postmaster in any local domain, regardless of the source,
# and without verifying the sender.
accept local_parts = postmaster
domains = +local_domains
# Deny unless the sender address can be verified.
require verify = sender
#############################################################################
# There are no checks on DNS "black" lists because the domains that contain
# these lists are changing all the time. However, here are two examples of
# how you could get Exim to perform a DNS black list lookup at this point.
# The first one denies, while the second just warns.
#
# deny message = rejected because $sender_host_address is in a
black list at $dnslist_domain\n$dnslist_text
# dnslists = black.list.example
#
# warn message = X-Warning: $sender_host_address is in a black
list at $dnslist_domain
# log_message = found in $dnslist_domain
# dnslists = black.list.example
#############################################################################
# Accept if the address is in a local domain, but only if the recipient can
# be verified. Otherwise deny. The "endpass" line is the border between
# passing on to the next ACL statement (if tests above it fail) or denying
# access (if tests below it fail).
accept domains = +local_domains
endpass
message = unknown user
verify = recipient
# Accept if the address is in a domain for which we are relaying, but
again,
# only if the recipient can be verified.
accept domains = +relay_to_domains
endpass
message = unrouteable address
verify = recipient
# If control reaches this point, the domain is neither in +local_domains
# nor in +relay_to_domains.
# Accept if the message comes from one of the hosts for which we are an
# outgoing relay. Recipient verification is omitted here, because in many
# cases the clients are dumb MUAs that don't cope well with SMTP error
# responses. If you are actually relaying out from MTAs, you should
probably
# add recipient verification here.
accept hosts = +relay_from_hosts
# Accept if the message arrived over an authenticated connection, from
# any host. Again, these messages are usually from MUAs, so recipient
# verification is omitted.
accept authenticated = *
# Reaching the end of the ACL causes a "deny", but we might as well give
# an explicit message.
deny message = relay not permitted
######################################################################
# AUTHENTICATION CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
# There are no authenticator specifications in this default configuration
file.
begin authenticators
fixed_plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = ${if crypteq{$3}
{${extract{1}{:}{${lookup{$2}lsearch{/etc/relayers}{$value}}}}}{yes}{no}
server_set_id = $2
fixed_cram:

# End of Exim configuration file
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
