Hi
You don't have to rely on the authenticated_id variable, which you
probably set on a successful authentication.
You can use the condition "!authenticated = *".
This is what I have as the first statement for my submission port rcpt acl:
# MUA must authenticate
deny message = Authentication is required to send messages
!authenticated = *
By adding the hostlist to this, that should work. If not, try an "exim
-bh myip1" to test the outcome of the condition as well as an
authenticated session. This way, you simulate the SMTP session and at
the same time see what exim thinks of it.
If you have to compute the LOGIN/PLAIN auth string, you can use this
small perl script smtp-auth.pl:
---
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# Usage: smtp-auth.pl <user> <pass>
use strict;
use MIME::Base64;
my $unenc = join ("\000", @ARGV);
print "AUTH LOGIN " . encode_base64("$unenc", '') . "\n";
print "AUTH PLAIN " . encode_base64("\000$unenc", '') . "\n";
