It's been sometime since I set up my Exim3 for SMTP AUTH -- I believe you should
find out first what type of SMTP_AUTH your ISP supports. Usually one telnets to
their e-mail server, to see what their login stanza says. In my case it was
SMTP_AUTH PLAIN. This and the
I don't know if this helps much, I've only done this with Exim3. But Exim4
should use similar syntax. So in my 'exim.conf', I have the following;
Under Authentication Configuration Section
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = ": login : password" ## appropriate p/login
Under Routers Configuration Section
smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* ssmtp.bloor.is.net.cable.rogers.com
bydns_a"
/* I remember the config wouldn't work, without 'ssmtp' appended, at least
with my ISP) */
Cheers.
