I would like to configure Exim to send all of my non-local outgoing mail
through an external relay on port 465. The relay host requires TLS and
SMTP authentication. I do not need to use TLS for incoming mail.
I am confused as to whether I need to set up a private key and certificate
to send outgoing mail (I would assume that I don't need a certificate,
because I can send mail from my mail client via the same relay host
without signing a certificate!).
Currently I have the following in my exim configuration file (edited for
anonymity):
Under "routers":
send_through_myrelay:
driver = manualroute
route_list = !+local_domains smtp.myrelay.com
transport = myrelay_smtp
Under "transports":
myrelay_smtp:
driver = smtp
user = exim
hosts = smtp.myrelay.com
hosts_require_auth = smtp.myrelay.com
hosts_require_tls = smtp.myrelay.com
port = 465
Under "authenticators":
myrelay_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = : myname : ******
If I try to send mail with this configuration as it stands, I get the
following in my verbose output from exim:
Connecting to smtp.myrelay.com [111.222.333.444]:465 ... connected
waiting for data on socket

initial connection: Connection timed out
What should I do to get my TLS and authentication working?
thanks,
Matthew.
