|2.3. SMTP-AUTH
|
| Exim can do SMTP AUTH both as a client and as a server.
|
| AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN are disabled for connections which are not
| protected by SSL/TLS per default. These authentication methods use
| cleartext passwords, and allowing the transmission of cleartext
| passwords on unencrypted connections is a security risk. Therefore,
| the default configuration configures exim not to use and/or allow AUTH
| PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN over unencrypted connections.
|
| It is thus recommended to set up exim to use TLS to encrypt the
| connections. Please refer to Section 2.2, "Using TLS" for
| documentation about this. Note that most Microsoft clients need
| special handling for TLS.
|
|2.3.1. Using exim as SMTP-AUTH client
|
| If you want to set up exim as SMTP AUTH client for delivery to your
| internet access provider's smarthost put the name of the server, your
| login and password in /etc/exim4/passwd.client. See the man page for
| exim4-config_files(5) for more information about the required format.
|
| If you need to enable AUTH PLAIN or AUTH LOGIN for unencrypted
| connections because your service provider does support neither TLS
| encryption nor the CRAM MD5 authentication method, you can do so by
| setting the AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS macro. Please refer to
| Section 2.1.3, "Using Exim Macros to control the configuration"
| for an explanation of how best to do this.
|
| /etc/exim4/passwd.client needs to be readable for the exim user (user
| Debian-exim, group Debian-exim). I suggest you keep the default
| permissions root:Debian-exim 0640.
