Hi
I'm quite new to Exim & Cygwin.
But I could successfully download & install Exim on Cygwin with my Windows XP SP2.
I'm trying to configure exim (4.69) to send mail thru my service provider(SMTP). But my service provider requires a user/password for SMTP authentication & i'm unable to configure this. varlogeximexim_main.log shows the following error
2009-08-26 10:59:33 KOYXX3-00023K-P0 ** user@??? R=send_to_gateway T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM: SIZE=3241: host remote_mail_server [xx.xx.xx.xx]: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated
My windows XP system is on a local domain (domainA.com) & my service provider is on a remote domain (domainB.com). I just need to transfer all the mails from exim over to the remote domain.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

This should work but because you are only dealing with a single isp smtp
server it would be easier to not use lsearch and do something like:
begin routers
smarthost:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
# rogers
route_list = * smtp.broadband.rogers.com byname
begin transports
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
# b.c.s.i. - we have to authenticate against this smarthost
# rogers
hosts_require_auth = smtp.broadband.rogers.com
begin authenticators
# b.c.s.i. - used to authenticate to smarthost
fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
# rogers
client_send = : account-name@??? : account-passwd
And just put your authentication info in plain text.
Cheers.
