Aihe: [Exim] RE: Exim 4 LDAP SMTP Authentication
Hello again,
    I am sorry I wasn't more specific earlier regarding my needs.  I
left my full config file hoping for someone to notice my variables.  I
host for many virtual domains and I have tailored LDAP to do so.  By
looking at the server_condition that was recommended, it seems to not
fit my needs and would be too specific in its bind to LDAP.


    For example would be a user user@??? and their LDAP
structure would look like so:
    cn=user,dc=sfm-racing.com,o=mye-znet.


    Then there would be a user user@??? which would
look like so:
    cn=user,dc=caraudiocheap.com,o=mye-znet.


    So by looking at my router section of my config file you will
notice the variable dc=${domain}.


ldap_user:
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
data = ${lookup ldap
{ldap:///dc=${domain},o=mye-net?mailMessageStore?sub?(uid=${local_part})
}}

    Hopefully I can get users to send mail via the same way that
they receive mail.  I am using a POP3 server which I have configured to
allow users to authenticate with a full username and domain login (i.e.
user@???).


Any ideas?

Thanks ahead,

As far as I'm concerned, with Exim 4.10/4.12 $3 (without the quotes)
doesn't work. However, as with *everything* else above, it's a matter of
trial and error. It took me a day to figure out the ins and outs, with
copious help from the 14,000 odd Exim list postings on my harddisk since
Exim 4 arrived. Plus much RTFMing and trying out.

Funny, I hardly ever need to ask for help from the list, it's all been
done by someone before. There was a posting from a Sendmail admin on the
SA list who had 3,000+ spammer "dictionary" attacks *per day* on his
smtp server and wondered whether to set up an IPTABLES block, etc. I did
a hard disk search and came up with Guilano's teergrubing solution /
posting for Exim 4 within 5 minutes. And it works beautifully, even
combined with other things within the same ACL. Effing brilliant.

Best,

Tony
