this is way outside my comfort zone :-0

ive set up a test version on my local machine and when i send from a
client

2012-04-16 18:15:59 [4252] SMTP connection from [::1]:51631 I=[::1]:25
(TCP/IP connection count = 1)

How can I debug this fro my end ?
Do i need to tell the authenticator to encrypt the username/password it
retrieves from the lookup ?

thanks for any pointers


Ive added a port variable to the data file and can look it up
exim -be
'${extract{port}{${lookup{me@???}wildlsearch{/etc/exim4/smarthosts}{$value}fail}}}'
465



config is now

begin routers

smarthost_auto:
debug_print ="T. auto_route remote_smtp for $local_part@$domain from
$sender_address "
self = send
condition =
${extract{smarthost}{${lookup{$sender_address}wildlsearch*@{/etc/exim4/smarthosts}{$v
alue}fail}}}
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = *
"${extract{smarthost}{${lookup{$sender_address}wildlsearch{/etc/exim4/smarthosts}
{$value}fail}}}"
domains = ! +local_domains


begin transports

remote_smtp:
debug_print = "T: remote_smtp for $local_part@$domain and $host_address"
driver = smtp
tls_certificate = /etc/exim4/exim.crt
tls_privatekey = /etc/exim4/exim.key
hosts_require_auth = *
port =
${extract{port}{${lookup{me@???}wildlsearch{/etc/exim4/smarthosts}{$value}fail}}}

begin authenticators

login:
driver = plaintext
public_name=LOGIN
client_send = :
"${extract{auth_name}{${lookup{$sender_address}wildlsearch{/etc/exim4/smarthosts}{$value}fail}}}"
:
"${extract{auth_pass}{${lookup{$sender_address}wildlsearch{/etc/exim4/smarthosts}{$value}fail}}}"
