Hi,

been trying to solve this for a few days now,

if I have exim_user=root in exim.conf then this happens:

2004-05-21 13:41:44 1BR9LJ-0006ml-MF <= kirth@???
H=eclipse.noc.demon.net (thus011087) [195.173.56.213] P=asmtp A=login:kirth
S=1302 id=001801c43f30$e6a88380$d538adc3@thus011087
2004-05-21 13:41:44 1BR9LJ-0006ml-MF User 0 set for remote_smtp transport is
on the fixed_never_users list


if i have exim running as mail (as I'd prefare) I get this:

2004-05-21 13:41:13 login authenticator failed for eclipse.noc.demon.net
(thus011087) [195.173.56.213]: 535 Incorrect authentication data
(set_id=kirth)

This is the auth part of exim.conf

plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = "${if pam{$2:$3}{1}{0}}"
server_set_id = $2

login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = "${if pam{$1:$2}{1}{0}}"
server_set_id = $1


Also tried setting FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root to FIXED_NEVER_USERS=
however, exim still lists root when i do exim -bV.

I dont want to run a sql auth, as this would mean duplicating passwords.

So... having google'd forver, I resort to asking for help :)

Cheers
Richard
