Hi,

I'm just testing it for PLAIN and LOGIN auth, and I always get :

exim : 2006-10-12 19:15:16 login authenticator failed for
meathook.meleeweb.net [82.230.172.234]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present: authentication socket read error or premature eof

dovecot : Oct 12 19:14:42 [dovecot] auth(default): BUG: Authentication client 5518 didn't specify service in request

did I miss something ?
