Dear Guys,

I'm having some problems with SMTP authentication through authdaemon 
socket, and I can't find ways to debug with more details... maybe you 
can help me!

My exim4.conf contains following lines:

----------------------------------------
# LOGIN authenticator
login:
   driver = plaintext
   public_name = LOGIN
   server_prompts = Username:: : Password::
   server_condition = ${extract {address} {${readsocket{AUTHDAEMON_SOCKET} \
     {AUTH ${strlen:exim\nlogin\n$1\n$2\n}\nexim\nlogin\n$1\n$2\n} }} 
{yes} fail}
   server_set_id = $1

# PLAIN authenticator
plain:
   driver = plaintext
   public_name = PLAIN
   server_prompts = :
   server_condition = ${extract {address} {${readsocket{AUTHDAEMON_SOCKET} \
     {AUTH ${strlen:exim\nlogin\n$2\n$3\n}\nexim\nlogin\n$2\n$3\n} }} 
{yes} fail}
   server_set_id = $2
----------------------------------------

My socket directory have world-readable-writeable permissions (this is 
temporary, just to exclude permission problems):

----------------------------------------
ls -ld /var/run/courier/
drwxrwxrwx  3 daemon daemon 4096 Aug  1 14:53 /var/run/courier/

ls -ld /var/run/courier/authdaemon/
drwxrwxrwx  2 daemon daemon 4096 Aug  2 14:18 /var/run/courier/authdaemon/

ls -ld /var/run/courier/authdaemon/socket
srwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 Aug  2 14:18 /var/run/courier/authdaemon/socket
----------------------------------------

When I run exim and I try to authenticate myself when sending a message, 
I get the following lines in the debugging window...

----------------------------------------
  2610 plain authenticator:
  2610   $1 =
  2610   $2 = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  2610   $3 = mm$2003
  2610 expansion failed: "extract" failed and "fail" requested
  2610 SMTP>> 535 Incorrect authentication data
[...]
  2610 login authenticator:
  2610   $1 = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  2610   $2 = mm$2003
  2610 "
  2610 SMTP>> 535 Incorrect authentication data
----------------------------------------

First it tries the plain authenticator and as it fails, it proceeds to 
the login authenticator, which also fails.
I see the key-line is 'expansion failed: "extract" failed and "fail" 
requested', but why the extract fails? How can I get more information 
about it?

Thanks a lot!!!!
Best regards,
