Subject: [exim] SMTP AUTH strategy
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to come up with a solution for allowing SMTP AUTH for a few users-

The reason I say only a few users is the following;

My setup here is BSD running Exim /Clam & SA-

90% of my users bypass this box when sending mail as they connect directly to an Exchange server, However, we have a few users that are unable to do this as they are in 3rd world countries that do not, as of yet have broadband- so they normally send smtp via their ISP's SMTP server- ( which WAS working ok) now we have numerous issues-

an example of one is here;
554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [41.204.40.26] blocked using sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org; http://www.spamhaus.org/SBL/sbl.lasso?query=SBL52368

another issue was that on multiple occasions , the ISP's server got screwed up and kept resending messages for a period of 72 hours -

so we had received the same messages approx 2 hundred times over a weekend - till I was able to get them to remove the message from the queue;

So I would like to have these particular users send via my SMTP with AUTH, however , since all the user accounts i have here reside on my exchange server they do not have accounts on the BSD box-

What avenues should I be exploring given my circumstances-
any ideas/thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated-

TIA
