How does one configure Exim (Woody) to work with smarthost using AUTH PLAIN? Is the pwd/log supposed to be entered in the exim.cnf file? I've tried what has been suggested in the archives, but it ain't working.
I'm using the following lines at the end of my /etc/exim/exim.conf to authenticate to my smarthost. I never tested if I need both plain and login but it works for me.
#v+ plain: driver = plaintext public_name = PLAIN client_send = "^user^passwd"
login: driver = plaintext public_name = LOGIN client_send = ": user : passwd" #v-
Thanks, I have that setup the same.
Quick question, how does the l/p info get entered? Is my client, in this case mutt, supposed to supply the l/p? I did have Exim set up a couple of years ago to work with SSMTP, (of course I didn't keep my notes), however I don't think mutt was sending l/p.
I have my login and password in exim.conf. In the above, replace "user" with your login and "passwd" with the password. I've changed the file permissions so that not everybody can read the file:
-rw-r----- root mail /etc/exim/exim.conf
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for this. Exim, is now communicating with my Smarthost correctly.
_For the Archives_ :
What I was doing wrong was:
*I didn't understand that the l/pwd had to be entered into the .conf
file.
(/etc/exim/exim.conf)
*I uncommented all the "Auth" scripts at the bottom, rather than
guessing
which to use via the trial & error method.--
