What did these folks mean by "v"?? CHECK authorization required! Great, huh? What the problem is that exim4 does not allow plaintext passwords in smarthost authentication by default. The provider apparently will not accept TLS and such so I need to enable plaintext though not the best idea. SO I placed the following in /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs: .ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = yes .endif This did not work. The documentation said to do something like this but did not really clearly tell me how I have in /etc/exim4/passwd.client: provider-smtp...:username:password as before. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
