exactly what I said ... you have to use login-pass as an auth mechanism in
linux
Workaround - does your network use nat / ipmasq? In that case, you can set the
smtp server to localhost happily (if outbound port 25 is not firewalled on your
network - not very likely to be ...)
I'm doing that - it works very well :)
Oh btw, why dont you consider sticking a sendmail / other decent (read: unix)
MTA in front of that exchange box (and use the mailertable to deliver incoming
mail to your exchange server)?
Exchange is seriously broken in more ways than one ...
