Things have changed a bit in recent versions of exim4. However, I believe that AUTH_CLIENT macro applies to your computer receiving non-TLS passworded mail. I have been through this. I assume you are "smarthost"ing to your provider. In the latest and greatest, you may define REMOTE_SMTP_SMARTHOST_HOSTS_VAILD_TLS. In previous versions, or now, you can set mosts_vaoid_tls=1 in the smarthost transport configuration. Place your login to the provider in /etc/exim4/passwd.client. BTW, I still get more than occasional auth failures. When this happens, I need to resend, maybe even a second time. Don't know why. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
