Subject: [Exim] Exim SPA Authentication
I am using the Cygwin port of Exim 4.20 as follows:

Exim version 4.20 #1 built 15-May-2003 19:33:41
Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2003
Probably GDBM (native mode)
Support for: OpenSSL
Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext spa
Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect
Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply pipe smtp
Configuration file is /etc/exim.conf

I have configured Exim as outlined at
http://slackware.duffs.org/Documentation/eximconfig.html, using the
"exim.conf" file provided and inserting my actual MSN username and password
where instructed.

I, however, receive the following SMTP messages which may indicate that
Exim's SPA implementation is not working. I am able to successfully send
directly to smtp.email.msn.com using Microsoft Outlook Express with SPA
activated. So, I know that the SMTP server is functioning properly.

If someone has an updated Exim "spa" driver or can see a problem with my
configuration, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.

Thank you,
