This is as a server, right? So, try to connect as a client and authenticate. Perhaps using "exim -d+auth -oX 26 -bd" to listen on another port, without detaching and becoming a daemon, with lots of debugging output. If you're after an existing SMTP client which can handle STARTTLS and then plaintext, or using non-plaintext auth methods, then I quite like "smtpc" from Tony Finch; web-page: http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/~fanf2/ with much useful Exim information; the link is "a small SMTP client" near the bottom; it handles CRAM-MD5, EXTERNAL, LOGIN & PLAIN. If you want to use a "real" SMTP client for confirmation, then the latest mutt releases include native SMTP support and "smtp_authenticators" will let you set the authentication method used; that has the advantage of supporting all the authentication methods that Cyrus SASL supports (including DIGEST-MD5 and GSSAPI). The Cyrus IMAP server comes with some supporting test programs which might be available separately under your OS's package management system; in particular, "smtptest" which is quite flexible. smtpc, smtptest and mutt all support non-standard ports, so connecting to a debug port shouldn't be a problem. -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
