Hi,
I am using exim 4.22 on Debian testing. I have outgoing and
incoming mail set up, with some virtual domains.
I would like to allow remote users, from anywhere on the
internet, to send their outgoing mail through my server, but
only if they can authenticate themselves in some way. I don't
have many users who will be doing this, so managing a single
file with htpasswd or simply usernames and plaintext passwords
is fine.
Is there an example config file I can work from ?
Let me give some background on what I've tried so far:
-- I noticed the authenticators section in the configuration
that came with debian, and so I make a
"*:username:cryptedpass" entry in
/etc/exim4/passwd.clients, but in testing exim refused to
relay from outside my network and when I type something
like "AUTH PLAIN" into a test smtp session ( started using
the command "exim4 -d -bh 1.2.3.4" ) it says "503 AUTH
command used when not advertised"
-- If I try to send without using the AUTH, it says relay not
allowed
-- I set "domainlist relay_to_domains = *" and then tested
myself by telneting to relay-test.mail-abuse.org,
discovered I appeared to be openly relaying, and hastily
backed that out. But I want to relay to any domain, just
only after the person connecting has authenticated in some
way.
I can post my config file if necessary, but what I'd really
like is some link to a config file that is pretty close to
what I want to do, and then I can work from it. I have read
the appropriate portions of the exim spec document, FAQ, and
looked at the example configs referred to in the FAQ. I also
searched google, google groups, the mailing list, and tldp.org
-- is what I am trying to do that unusual ?
