Betreff: [exim] Dovecot authentication
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has got experience with running exim with
dovecot authentication.
I tried the patch found at:
http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/AuthenticatedSmtpUsingDovecot
It applies without any problem with current (4.62) exim source code, but
when trying to send a mail with authentication, I just get the following
errors:

in exim log:
cramMD5 authenticator failed for mail.eriador.org ([172.20.0.1])
[85.201.63.39]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present: authentication
socket read error or premature eof

in dovecot log:
dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 38      CRAM-MD5
rip=85.201.63.39        lip=209.216.230.30      resp=
dovecot: auth(default): BUG: Authentication client 32610 didn't specify
service in request


my dovecot version is: 1.0.rc2. I guess this patch has been made against
an old dovecot. So if someone has got a newer patch or any idea, it will
be welcome.

PAM authentication is totally out of question as I am working with OpenBSD.
