Hi, it probably seems like a very obvious answer to my questions, but I'm just not experienced enough to know how these servers tie-in and work together...
I have Courier and Exim installed and things seem to work ok, but I apparently do not have AUTHentication setup/configured, at least not with Exim. I've compiled Exim myself and included AUTH_CRAM_MD5=yes AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes AUTH_SPA=yes, but when I 'telnet localhost 25' I do not get '250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5'. And now to my questions - do I have to configure AUTHentication in Exim, in Courier, or both? Do I even need POP/IMAP servers with Exim, and if not, what would be a situation where I'd want POP/IMAP servers running? As I see it, POP/IMAP servers are there to act as the front-end to the MTA for MUAs, which is why I'm wondering if I even need to configure AUTHentication in Exim, but I'm just not sure. Thanks for your help!
