IIRC, makepasswd creates a pseudo-/etc/passwd file on CygWin by using the Windows local accounts (on NT-class machines) -- and you can add additional users following the same format. > Last thing that I need to know is how to setup logs in the following > format: yyyy-mm-dd so that I can inspect incoming and > outgoing connections on daily basis? > This line in the general Exim configuration sets up "daily" logs of the form erejectDATE.log, emainDATE.log, but epanic.log remains a "single" log since it is not supposed to have very many entries (on a working system): log_file_path = /var/log/exim/e%s%D.log Hopefully someone else will be kind enough to help you with the authentication issues since I am not an expert on those. -- Herb Martin http://LearnQuick.Com Accelerated MCSE in a Week Seminars > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zbigniew Szalbot > Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 12:56 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [exim] cygiwin / authentication in exim > > Hello, > > Best greetings from Poland. > > I am new to exim and count on your helpful tips. > > I am trying to setup authenticating relaying in exim.
