great. plaintext password lookup works. What is weird now is that
exim only asks for authentication if and only if I have the relay
line in exim.conf for my host (I am on a static IP with my powerbook
in Brasil and using a machine running exim in New Zealand). In other
words, here is the line for relaying, without which exim fails any
message from my laptop (200.185.239.72), regardless of authentication
settings:
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 192.168.0.0/16 :
200.185.239.72/16 :
and here is the appropriate fixed_plain auth that works as long as I
keep that relay_from_hosts line including the IP for the laptop:
fixed_plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = ${if and {{eq{$2}{user}}{eq{$3}{password}}}{yes}
{no}}
server_set_id = $2
I realize probably I have a condition somewhere in exim.conf that is
mucking things up, and appreciate your help and time.
