Hello list, I could sure use some pointers on trouble shooting this one. I am running a Debian Sid system using exim4 to send my mail to a smart host who requires authentication, and have it working okay. The steps were actually simple. My exim4 is version 4.52, and I did nothing beyond placing the necessary entries in /etc/exim4/passwd.client and /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, then doing the usual update and restarting.
Now I am attempting to duplicate the above on a Debian Sarge box, where exim4 is version 4.50, and where the identical instructions for achieving authentication are present. I plugged the same data into the Sarge files as I have in the corresponding Sid files. But my ISP rejects my mail advising me that "authentication is required" when I send from Sarge, but happily accepts the mail when sent from Sid. I'm sure there must be something I have neglected to install on the Sarge box, but I have no clue as to where to look. I am not new to Linux, not even to Debian any more, but I have had very little experience with encryption and authentication. Why won't my Sarge box do what my Sid box does? Where should I look for differences? Any suggestions are not only welcome, but eagerly awaited.
