Thanks --- I'm currently looking at it and got so far to be able to try
it out:
begin authenticators
PLAIN:
driver = plaintext
server_set_id = $auth2
server_prompts = :
server_condition = ${if pam{$2:$3}{1}{0}}
server_advertise_condition = ${if def:tls_cipher }
When I try to send an email over port 587, I'm getting entries in exims
log file like:
PLAIN authenticator failed for [fqdn] [<IP>]: 535 Incorrect
authentication data (set_id=[<username>]
Now I'm trying to figure out what's wrong. The user does exist as a
local user, and I'm using the right password. What might I be missing?
