Hi
We're using Exim 4.44 and are ready to implement SMTP authentication.
Before we do, did any of you run into mail clients that DO NOT support
SMTP authentication? What was tyour solution around that?
Thanks
Frank
I think the only real issues are:
* remember you must encrypt the session so passwords aren't exposed. Use
TLS to do this.
* some MS clients don't support TLS. For them you should provide SSL on
port 465.
* some Internet Service Providers intercept outbound port 25 - they won't
be able to authenticate your users. Offer port 587 as the standard port.
You'll need to continue to offer port 25, so users don't HAVE to change.
