I must admit to being a little confused by the previous reply which seemed to be getting into coding details about stuff I had never heard of. I will start again: I want exim4 configured to deliver email using a smarthost. A Gmail smarthost. This is one of the 3 or 4 main "modes" of exim it would appear so why this should be "extremely complicated" as suggested earlier is a surprise to me. I have: added the procmail_pipe to my config for local mail delivery : works fine. modified my passwd.client added port=587 to my config set the smarthost to be smtp.gmail.com in my config updated the config restarted the exim server if I bash: echo "test" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get this in my exim mainlog: 2006-10-28 19:52:40 1GdsMK-0004L8-6E <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=hadron P=local S=333 2006-10-28 19:52:51 1GdsMK-0004L8-6E plain authenticator failed H=gmail-smtp.l.google.com [66.249.93.109] 535 5.7.1 Credentials Rejected y7sm962917ugc 2006-10-28 19:52:51 1GdsMK-0004L8-6E login authenticator failed H=gmail-smtp.l.google.com [66.249.93.109] 535 5.7.1 Credentials Rejected y7sm962917ugc 2006-10-28 19:52:51 1GdsMK-0004L8-6E ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=1367: host gmail-smtp.l.google.com [66.249.93.109]: 530 5.5.1 Authentication Required y7sm962917ugc 2006-10-28 19:53:01 1GdsMf-0004LJ-Me <= <> R=1GdsMK-0004L8-6E U=Debian-exim P=local S=1285 2006-10-28 19:53:01 1GdsMK-0004L8-6E Completed I dont understand authenticators, I have modified none of them from the default Ubuntu Edgy install.
