Ernie, instead of complaining about the answer it's probably more
efficient and less stressful for all concerned if you say "I didn't
understand that" and let someone explain it in more detail.

As it stands, the default configuration - as I posted earlier - has this
documented in immense and very clear detail; it is even available on the
web as part of the main documentation:

http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch07.html#SECTdefconfauth

In there you'll see that the issue you're experiencing isn't a spelling
error, it's caused (as Phil Pennock helpfully explained) by the position
of the response fields in the data received by the server.

I hope that helps
