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
