From which exim version did you update? Did SMTP AUTH work before? Did you read the docs, especially README.Debian.gz and README.SMTP-AUTH, both in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base? >Now, authenticated SMTP no longer works, no matter what I try. In KMail's >"Check what the server supports" also yields different results in KMail 1.7 >and KMail 1.8, so I am utterly confused. Did you try with other software, such as telnet, gnutls-cli and/or swaks? >On the server, I do an extraction of mail-users from /etc/shadow and creates a >new /etc/exim4/passwd for authentication. If you insist on using system passwords for authentication (which might be a bad idea because e-mail passwords are usually stored in the client software and notoriously bad protected), there are methods to have exim authenticate directly against the system passwords. These methods are also mentioned in the docs. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
