So you want to eliminate SASL, but want to keep your cumbersome IMAP authentication? If you are really looking for simplicity, drop _that_ and use the same backend as your IMAP server, dovecot. TTBOMK, Exim supports the same (or even more) backends as dovecot, so there is no need for this additional step. I already asked you two times, why you need such a feature - you didn't answer that question yet, besides of "to eliminate SASL". As Matthew pointed out, the answer to the question in the subject is: "Because nobody needs it". -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
