As some of you may know, yahoo's smtp server requires
authentication to send email. I've been trying to get
this to work, but so far have been unsuccessful. (this
is on exim running on my laptop, so I'm the only
person sending email from it). I tried using the plain
authentication, but I'm not sure I set my
'client_send' string correctly. Here's the
authentication config I have:
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = "^ajmccready@???^pass"
(where pass is replaced with my actual password)
I did some packet analysis and found that exim does
send
AUTH PLAIN <scrambled>
(where I assume the scrambled stuff is a md5 of the
client_send string) and gets back
535 authorization failed (#5.7.0)
Any idea whats wrong?
