I am using LDAP to authenticate Users for SMTP-Auth. My exim.conf looks
like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
begin authenticators
When I am sending Mails via Thunderbird the logfiles show me some errors:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2005-10-28 10:30:25 plain authenticator failed for xxx.t-ipconnect.de
[xx.xxx.xx.xxx]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present (set_id=torben):
failed to bind the LDAP connection to server localhost:389 - LDAP error
34: Invalid DN syntax
So my question is if exim only tries all authenticators and some can
fail or if this is a bad configuration? When I enter a bad password
relaying is denied. Since I do not want to be a openrelay I am a bit
worried.
