  Log:
  Make it easier to get SMTP authentication and TLS/SSL support working
  by adding some example configuration directives to the default
  configuration file. A little bit of work is required to uncomment the
  directives and define how usernames and passwords are checked, but
  there is now a framework to start from.

  +which support plaintext username/password authentication using the
  +standard PLAIN mechanism and the traditional but non-standard LOGIN
  +mechanism, with Exim acting as the server. PLAIN and LOGIN are enough
  +to support most MUA software.
  +
  +The example PLAIN authenticator looks like this:
  +.code
  +#PLAIN:
  +#  driver                     = plaintext
  +#  server_set_id              = $auth2

  +
  +The &%server_set_id%& option makes Exim remember the authenticated username
  +in &$authenticated_id$&, which can be used later in ACLs or routers. The
  +&%server_prompts%& option configures the &(plaintext)& authenticator so
  +that it implements the details of the specific authentication mechanism,
  +i.e. PLAIN or LOGIN. The &%server_advertise_condition%& setting controls
  +when Exim offers authentication to clients; in the examples, this is only
  +when TLS or SSL has been started, so to enable the authenticators you also
  +need to add support for TLS as described in &<<SECTdefconfmain>>&.
  +
  +The &%server_condition%& setting defines how to verify that the username and
  +password are correct. In the examples it just produces an error message.
  +To make the authenticators work, you can use a string expansion
  +expression like one of the examples in &<<CHAPplaintext>>&.
