Package: exim4 Version: 4.63-2 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line ***
Exim is set to relay outgoing mail through a smarthost (smtp.gmail.com a.k.a gmail-smtp.l.google.com) which requires the client to authenticate via TLS. Exim is configured to do so, and /etc/exim4/passwd.client contains the following lines: > *:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:my_password > gmail-smtp.l.google.com:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:my_password > smtp.gmail.com:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:my_password Sending mail is often succesful, but it often fails with the following log message: > xxxx-xx-xx xx:xx:xx xxxxxxxxxx ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost > T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL > FROM:<> SIZE=xxxx: host gmail-smtp.l.google.com [64.233.185.111]: 530 > 5.5.1 Authentication Required xxxxxxxxxx Other MTAs on the system (Sylpheed, swaks and others) are consistently successful at relaying mail through the same smarthost. This problem is discussed at some length on the (regular, non-Debian) exim mailing list [0], but I see no resolution there. The information on the "GmailandExim4" page of the Debian wiki [1] also does not help to resolve the problem.
