Subject: RE: [exim] Please help with getting out of RBL hell
I just joined up with DynDNS and "MailHop Outbound" service.

The one thing I'm confused is that in the directions, they talk about
another "login:" section. However Exim complains that I can't have two of
them. So I commented out the 'old' one, but I'm worried as to if I need it
it or not? I thought that the router or transport would have a reference to
this 'login' name, but nothing does in the whole config file. Again, I know
almost nothing about Exim, so could someone please tell me what I need to do
here?

# commented out by DV for the 'outbound' login below
#login:
# driver = plaintext
# public_name = LOGIN
# server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
# server_condition = "${if pam{$1:$2}{1}{0}}"
# server_set_id = $1

# added by DV
  login:
      driver = plaintext
      public_name = LOGIN
      client_send = ": USERNAME : PASSWORD"
