Aihe: [exim] mail.app and authentication
Folks,

we have a problem with mail.app and also kmail. Our site only advertises
AUTH for IP addresses outside our domain for the reasons explained in the
Exim book. For some reason mail.app and kmail will only authenticate
correctly if AUTH is advertised. This happens over ports 25, 465 and 587.
Both Thunderbird and Outlook seem to work OK without AUTH being advertised.
Is this a problem with mail.app and kmail or is there something in Exim we
can tweak to get this working?

Thanks,

Clive McDowell
