Hi,
I must use smtp authentocation with exim as a client.
My /etc/exim/auth file contained the line
mail.tu-berlin.de:^user^password
but this doesn't work. I had to change it to
130.149.7.33:^user^password
which works because
| 130.149.7.33 in hosts_try_auth? yes (matched "*")
| scanning authentication mechanisms
| search_open: lsearch "/etc/exim/auth"
| search_find: file="/etc/exim/auth"
| key="130.149.7.33" partial=-1 affix=NULL starflags=0
| LRU list:
| 9/etc/exim/auth
| End
| internal_search_find: file="/etc/exim/auth"
| type=lsearch key="130.149.7.33"
| file lookup required for 130.149.7.33
| in /etc/exim/auth
| lookup yielded: ^user^password
This is uncomfortable as IP may change :-(
How to force exim to do the lookup with the hostname (from router)?
Kind regards, Frank Elsner
