Subject: [Exim] vexim authentication errors
I'm using vexim, and have setup authenticators according to the docs:

fixed_cram:
        driver = cram_md5
        public_name = CRAM-MD5
        server_secret = ${lookup mysql{select password from users where username='${quote_mysql{$1}}'}{$value}fail}
        server_set_id = $1


I'm getting this error:

2004-04-05 14:36:51 fixed_cram authenticator failed for (rmail.us) [192.168.99.7]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present (set_id=test@???): "${quote_mysql" is not a known operator (or a } is missing in a variable reference)

2004-04-05 14:36:51 1BAYxn-0001x1-Ns <= test@??? H=(rmail.us) [192.168.99.7] P=asmtp A=plain_login:test@??? S=563 id=4071A659.4070100@???

The client is Netscape 7.1 on Windows.


In a separate but related issue, it seems that netscape 7.1 on the
mac is not sending the domain name as part of the user name, which of
course fails as usernames need the domain name in the vexim setup....
Anyone know if netscape's mail just sucks or if there is a workaround?
