Subject: [Exim] exim - smarthost config problem - dynamic IP rejection
Hello,
I am hoping to get some help from you. Thank you in advance
Here is my problem. Because I have a dynamic IP address, some email
servers are configured to reject emails from dynamic IP originated
servers.
Now I use exim 4.24 as my MTA.After a lot of reading I found out that the
solution would be to use smarthost approach. I want for all my outgoing
emails to use my ISP mail server.
I did telnet on my ISP mail server and noticed they offer AUTH PLAIN and
LOGIN options.
Now I setup as my routers I have :

       smarthost:
#cannot use domainlist for some reason I get 'domainlist not found" when
starting exim. Is manualroute good to use?!?
           driver = manualroute
           transport = remote_smtp
           route_list ="* ssmtp.hostname.com bydns_a"


Under Authentication Configuration Section

login:
          driver = plaintext
          public_name = LOGIN
      client_send =
"encrypteduser_password_used_to_authenticate_when_telne_to_my_ISP"



Now when I try to send emails, I get 550 relay not permitted from my ISP
mail server.
My understanding was that one smarthost defined the 'login' will kick in
and try to authenticate.
In my email log I see the 550 relay not permitted message, but don't see
the fact that login is called.

Anyhow, it does not work.

Am I on the right path to solve my "dynamic IP email rejection problem? If
yes, could you please help me to get this working.

I know you may be busy, but I would appreciate, whenever you have some
mminutes to help me.

Thank you very much,
