Still not working. I see that I cannot use the cram-md5 authenticator but I
also have plain and login authenticators as shown below:
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = "${if saslauthd{{$1}{$2}{smtp}} {1}}"
server_set_id = $1
plain_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_prompts = Username:: : Password::
server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}
server_condition = ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim/passwd.client}{${if
eq {$value }{$2}{yes}{no}}}}{no}}
server_set_id = $1
cram_md5_login:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
client_name = username
client_secret = password
server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}
server_secret =
${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim/passwd.client}{$value}fail}
server_set_id = $1
and I guess that either login or plain are ok since my smtp server states:
[root@vk3kqu exim]# telnet smtp.isp.com 25
Trying XX.XX.XX.XX...
Connected to smtp.isp.com (XX.XX.XX).
Escape character is '^]'.

ehlo localhost

However exim does not seem to recognise that I have both the LOGIN and PLAIN
authenticators, WHY does exim not use these????
I get the error:

my SMTP transport looks like:
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
hosts_require_auth = smtp.isp.com
hosts_require_tls = smtp.isp.com
and smarthost router looks like:
remote_smtp_smarthost:
debug_print = "T: remote_smtp_smarthost for $local_part@$domain"
driver = manualroute
domains = *
transport = remote_smtp
route_data = smtp.isp.com
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks de Chris G
