Subject: [Exim] authenticated_sender not attaching AUTH to MAIL
Hi all,

The authenticated_sender option in my smtp/lmtp transport just doesn't
want to work for me in my exim/cyrus combo. I have everything else
working fine but posting to subfolders without a specific acl in cyrus
just doesn't work for me.


So in cyrus.conf, I have lmtpd -a, I also have "lmtp_admins: postman" in
imapd.conf

In my exim transport I have authenticated_sender assigned to my test
account name - the account is working fine, it has 2 subfolders, 1 with
an acl for public posting (+test1), the other without for testing
authenticated_sender (+test2) Posting to +test1 works as expected
because it has the public posting acl. Posting to +test2 always lands in
the inbox. The whole setup is using ldap authentication via saslauthd,
and virtual domains.

My logs show that lmtp is pre-authed as postman. and the AUTH= parameter
is supposed to be filled out by authenticated_sender, but as a later
trace shows, the AUTH= is not being appended during the lmtp comms.

If I telnet into lmtp, and send some email to cyrus with the correct
AUTH= parameter, posting to +test2 works as it should.....my header in
the email shows the following:

from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) (authenticated
user=tnuro@??? bits=0)    by testbox.mydomain.com (Cyrus
v2.2.3) with LMTP; Tue, 24 Feb 2004 14:08:20 +1100


My conversation with lmtp was this:(note that I am using virtual domains
with full email addresses as account names)

testbox:/var/log/cyrus# telnet localhost lmtp
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 testbox.mydomain.com LMTP Cyrus v2.2.3 ready
LHLO localhost
250-testbox.mydomain.com
250-8BITMIME
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE
250-AUTH EXTERNAL
250 IGNOREQUOTA
MAIL FROM:<test@???> AUTH=tnuro@???
250 2.1.0 ok
RCPT TO:<tnuro+test2@???>
250 2.1.5 ok
DATA
354 go ahead
Subject: test auth

hello
.
250 2.1.5 Ok
quit
221 2.0.0 bye
Connection closed by foreign host.


So this shows that lmtp & cyrus are happy doing this.

However, when exim is sending email the email doesnt make it to +test2,
and the header of a received email that arrives in Inbox says this:

from testbox.mydomain.com (localhost [127.0.0.1])    by
testbox.mydomain.com (Cyrus v2.2.3) with LMTP; Tue, 24 Feb 2004 14:12:29
+1100


Note that authenticated user isn't filled out.



Here's a trace showing that no AUTH= parameter is attached, starting at
the point where authenticated_sender is being expanded in my smtp/lmtp
transport:
