Package: exim4-config Version: 4.61-1 Severity: wishlist Many ISPs seem to require plaintext authentication nowadays. I happened to miss the appropriate documentation (I looked in exim4-doc-html instead of exim4-base) and had great difficulty configuring exim4 to authenticate as a client. It would be helpful if exim4-config could ask users if they want to support plain text authentication and set AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS if so; a hint to edit passwd.client (maybe with a warning about #244724 if that's still a problem) would help too.
I've seen #314184 and agree with the maintainers that the proposed patch was inappropriate, but I still think it would be a good idea for exim4-config to help with this in some way. -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.61 #1 built 04-Apr-2006 19:53:57 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2006 Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (December 3, 2003) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 GnuTLS move_frozen_messages Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dsearch nis nis0 passwd Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.4 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages exim4-config depends on: ii adduser 3.85 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.72 Debian configuration management sy exim4-config recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
