Hello,
I don't now if it is instrumental in your enviroment
but here is a different easy to do approach, which was often discussed
on the list in the last months:
-------------------------------------------------------> SNIP
login:
driver=plaintext
public_name=LOGIN
server_condition="${if pam{$1:$2}{true}{false}}"
server_prompts="Username:: : Password::"
server_set_id=$1
<------------------------------------------------------- SNIP
This will do a cleartext authentification on the basis of
PAM. We (my organisation) decide that in combination with TLS there is
now need for us to encipher the passwords separately within the (secure)
SMTP connexions.
Also PAM gives us the freedom to switch our prefered
authentification mechanism easily.
We use Exim 4.10 but the shown configuration lines should also
work for Exim 3.36.
