Okay, when I e-mailed this morning I was blind in both eyes as I hadn't
ever even begun to play with this before. Having spent a great deal of
time looking at FAQs and searching Google, I'm almost there.

I have everything in place, and can auth both plaintext and login against
a fixed username/password. However, once I try to point to an altered-
for-Exim password file, users who are listed in the file can authenticate
without even supplying a password. If I try to point to the actual system
password file, all auth attempts fail (presumably because permissions
prevent reading it). The Altered-for-Exim password file is a user:pass
mapping which looks exactly like a standard .htpasswd file.

I'm positive this is something with the server_condition string I'm using,
does anyone have ideas here? I should note, thus far I've only tested
with Outlook Express (gah), which is making use of the fixed_login
authenticator.

Here's the relevant section of my config:

; begin paste
fixed_plain:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = PLAIN
    server_prompts = :
    server_condition = "${if and {{!eq{$2}{}}{!eq{$3}{}} \
        {crypteq{$3}{${extract{2}{:} \
        {${lookup{$2}lsearch{/usr/local/exim/exim_password}{$value}{*:*}}}}}}}{1}{0}}"
    server_set_id = $2


fixed_login:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = LOGIN
    server_prompts = Username:: : Password::
    server_condition = "${if and {{!eq{$1}{}}{!eq{$2}{}} \
        {crypteq{$2}{${extract{1}{:} \
        {${lookup{$1}lsearch{/usr/local/exim/exim_password}{$value}{*:*}}}}}}}{1}{0}}"
    server_set_id = $1
; end paste


Any help or guiding lights that can be shed are appreciated.
