Subject: Re: [exim] smarthost TLS authentication problem
i dont think im quite up to exim macros yet , and i think im making some
progress i understanding what this does on what ive got ( but not there
yet ) so i'll persevere a bit longer to try and get to grips with it.

I've established that its reading the config file

exim -be '${lookup{mxxxo@???}wildlsearch{/etc/exim4/smtp_users}}
returns an ?array/?hash of the key/value pairs in the file for the
line that starts @gmail.com :

so ive got to pass those values "auth_name"=mxxxo@??? and
"pass"=xxxxx to the transport
How ?

I dont think i can put anything to look up in the authenticators
section because there will be more than 1 of them in due course ( which
is where i started )


smarthost_auto:
    condition = 
${extract{smarthost}{${lookup{$sender_address}wildlsearch{/etc/exim4/smtp_users}{$value}fail}}}
    driver = manualroute
    domains = ! +local_domains
    route_list = "* 
${extract{smarthost}{${lookup{$sender_address}wildlsearch{/etc/exim4/smtp_users}{$value}fail}}}"
    transport = remote_smtp



remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
hosts_require_tls = smtp.gmail.com::587
hosts_require_auth = *

when i send from my client
