Hi,
i just spent some time on figuring out how to add smtp auth over tls support to exim config for
M$ clients such as OE or LOOKOUT! .
i am pretty sure many administrators of mail server run into this problem sooner or later, since
M$ clients are prolly in wide use.
wouldnt it be a good idea to add some FAQ or DOCU entry on exim.org for smtp auth via
sasld in general? plus the explicit example how to add M$ "LOGIN AUTHENTICATOR" support, cause
that is what is needed to make em work.
e.g. what i needed to add to make OE work with TLS AUTH SMTP was:
login_saslauthd:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
# # don't send system passwords over unencrypted connections
server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{0}{1}}
server_condition = ${if saslauthd{{$1}{$2}}{1}{0}}
server_set_id = $1
server_prompts = Username:: : Password::
not a big deal, but since i didnt know what exactly was the problem that made the OE clients
fuck up, u spend quite a lot of time searching deja.com etc to get hints. thats why i think a
small FAQ entry for this "problem" wouldnt harm, would it? just my 2 cents...
take care
Thorsten
