Hello Micha:
I'm using a monolithic config and have the following in my 'exim4.conf' for
authentication at my Smarthost;
# This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections.
remote_smtp:
#!!# authenticate_hosts renamed hosts_try_auth
driver = smtp
hosts_try_auth = smtp.broadband.rogers.com
#authenticate_hosts = smarthost.isp.com
# To use SMTP AUTH when sending to a particular host, such as your ISPs
# smarthost, uncomment and edit the above line, and also the example
# client-side authenticators at the bottom of the file
And the following immediately below it;
begin authenticators
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
# client_send = "^k
#
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = ": [EMAIL PROTECTED] : password"
Hope this helps.
