Thanks for answering me a while, back, i took a break into trying to resolve it, I'm still stuck as to where I can find clear documentation on this, I tried looking into what you mentioned but it doesn't add up because exim is supposed to be setup to authenticate as part of the user(I know this is possible).. Jdoe has to be in a way mapped to vlgrbnz(email credential login) which exim does by impersonating jdoe's login..

I'll try to rephrase something which I didn't address clearly.

I have a user jdoe on a lan system.

<Jdoe on LanMachine 192.168.x.x>  <---> <smtp of isp.net>

^ Basically that's my setup, exim is running on lanmachine..
My Lanmachine is not servicing anything to the internet, so this basically means I'll have to setup something on Lanmachine to 'fetchmail' for jdoe(i'll look into something for this later).

Where i'm stuck is how do I setup exim to authenticate on behalf for jdoe for sending mail from jdoe. (Jdoe will be sending mail from the lanmachine so right now i'm hoping the rule not to be too complex)

email username:vlgrbnz
email password:AlphaNumberic1
(fictitious credentials, just to point out the concept that the actual email username isn't jdoe)

Exim would have to act as a client on behalf of jdoe, logging in with these email credentials to some "smtp.isp.net:587" service..

This is my first step, and I'm very stuck :( .. If someone can shed a light on how I can approach this, it would be great.. as for it being debian or not.. don't worry.. debian allows to use a flat configuration file, and i first intend to try to set it up in a non-split configuration ..(debian allows to use a traditional flat configuration file, it says so in it's documentation)

This sounds hard, but I know it shouldn't be provided I know what ruling keywords I should be using in the configuration setup.. I'm pretty new to this so please bear with me. Thanks for any feedback, greatly appreciate it..
