Hi Gergely.

No... I'm not a exim newbie.

The setup it's correct. Exim is doing both the server authentication for my
internal client as the client authentication with the outgoing smtp server.
And there no doubt about the setup because, if i change the address to
another ISP all works. With the gmail smtp server works too, but i need to
force ssl to work with it (that it's a requirement of gmail service and
this sounds okay for me).

Hello,

for me it seems that your authenticators are not set up to login on other
servers, but to accept client logins. I'm not near a computer at the
moment, but it was a common issue when people tried to use GMail as a
smarthost, so if you try searching on that topic, you may find a solution.

Best,
Gergely

Hi all.
I had a situation today where i need that exim act as client on office365
server with authentication.
So, i have configured two authenticators (one for PLAIN and other for
LOGIN) that will be sent after TLS.
The problem that i found is that the office365 server isn't doing the
correct announce of AUTH mechanisms....
Running exim in debug mode i saw this:
  SMTP<< 250-pod51028.outlook.com Hello [189.74.52.32]         250-SIZE
36700160         250-PIPELINING         250-DSN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES         250-STARTTLS         250-AUTH
250-8BITMIME         250-BINARYMIME         250 CHUNKING
They are announcing only that has auth capability, right? So... the exim
don't find the correct authenticator data to use:
207.46.4.237 in hosts_require_auth? yes (matched
"pod51028.outlook.com")scanning
authentication mechanismsskipping server_plain authenticator: not
configured as a clientskipping server_login authenticator: not configured
as a client  SMTP>> QUIT
So... My doubt is... There are a way to configure exim to use for example
LOGIN mechanism as fallback when it don't find any valid mechanism for auth
as client? Someone had the same problem? How to fix this? Or maybe this is
something to send to bug list?
Thanks
