[exim] Problems with TLS and SMTP authentication

[Wayne Pascoe]

Hi all,










The parts of my exim.conf that I believe are relevant are as follows:

[MAIN]
tls_advertise_hosts = *
tls_certificate = /etc/exim/smtp.pem

[AUTHENTICATION]
plain:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = PLAIN
  server_advertise_condition = "${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}"
  server_condition = "${if pam{$2:$3}{1}{0}}"
  server_set_id = $2

login:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = LOGIN
  server_advertise_condition = "${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}"
  server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
  server_condition = "${if pam{$1:$2}{1}{0}}"
  server_set_id = $1


auth           required        pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account                required        pam_stack.so service=system-auth
and
auth            required        pam_unix.so shadow md5
account         required        pam_unix.so



Thanks in advance,

I am trying to migrate my server from gentoo to Centos, and as part of this, I am resetting up Exim. I have a working Exim solution on Gentoo that does authenticated SMTP with TLS. This has only ever been tested with Mail.App on OS X, but that is all I need :) When I try and send a mail using authentication (to the new server), I get the following error: 2006-07-09 11:54:36 plain authenticator failed for core.penguinpowered.org ([192.168.10.42]) [212.18.250.170]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=waynep) I originally got the following error in my logs with or without authentication, when using SSL: 2006-07-09 11:54:31 TLS error on connection from core.penguinpowered.org ([192.168.10.42]) [212.18.250.170] (SSL_accept): error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) When I imported my self-signed certificate into mail.app, this stopped. I'm posting the error anyway as I don't know if it is related to my real problem... I have tried both of the following in /etc/pam.d/exim, but neither seemed to change anything: If anyone has any advice as to how I can fix this, I would be very grateful!
