Hello,

we’ve got SMTP AUTH errors with this config:

begin authenticators
plain:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = PLAIN
    server_prompts = :
    server_condition = "${if pam{$auth2:${sg{$auth3}{:}{::}}}{yes}{no}}"
    server_set_id = $auth2

The password started with <# – and authentication failed.
We debugged this and came to:
https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_exim_runtime_configuration_file.html#SECTlistsepchange

"If a list begins with a left angle bracket, followed by any punctuation
character, that character is used instead of colon as the list separator. …"

Oh well … now how to avoid this? Is this a workaround:

server_condition = "${if pam{$auth2:<:${sg{$auth3}{:}{::}}}{yes}{no}}"

Or how to disable the list separator in this expansion?

Regards,
Frank
