I'd guess that the whole thing gets split at the first colon, the rest
being the password -- cf. for example, in
/etc/exim4/conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples:
client_secret =
${extract{2}{:}{${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}
That would mean: the quotes would be part of your password,
probably not what you want.
So I'd try without quotes first.

exim4 smtp-auth
For SMTP-AUTH in exim4, the authorization string saved in /etc/exim4/passwd.client is of the form: smarthost.isp.net:login_identification:password with the colon character (:) being the delimiter. Can this scheme work with a password which itself contains a colon, such as: this:is:my:password by quoting the password: smarthost.isp.net:login_identification:'this:is:my:password'
Re: exim4 smtp auth
You can not force client to authenticate, but you can force accepting mail from client to fail if client is not authenticated. You should check acl_smtp_mail or acl_smtp_rcpt and reject mail if client is not authenticated (but accept mail from foreign servers that are trying to send mail to your users). In default configuration in debian, relaying is allowed from your local network and authenticated users from other networks. All that is achieved in acl_smtp_rcpt ACL, there you can see how to accept/reject mail from clients if they are/not authenticated. 2007/2/6, Andrew Critchlow [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is there anyway i can check if my smtp auth is working with exim4?

Need help with exim4 SMTP Auth (I think)
I've suddenly started getting 550 errors when I attempt to send mail from my Sarge desktop host. I read my mail with mutt and run exim4. I got started with exim3 when it was default MTA for Debian and followed along as Debian moved to exim4. The error message that comes back to me when delivery fails suggests the I have not turned on SMTP Authentication in my email client, and this is very likely since I have no recollection of having ever dealt with SMTP Authentication whatsoever. Is this an issue, or should this be on by default in Debian? Where can I get info. on how to resolve this? I haven't found anything that looks like SMTP Authentication in the exim4 documentation on my machine. Is it a new feature? Or does exim4 refer to it by a different name?

If you are using the 'one big conf file' exim4.conf.template, check if you have TLS enabled. Even tho the docs tell how to enable it, I found that it was enabled by default. As my ISP does not use TLS, I had to comment out all the TLS lines before I could send mail when I installed exim4. :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) Wayne -- Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later. ___ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm no expert on this, but I did manage to get exim delivering through
GMail which requires SMTP authentication. I started with:
dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
And choose to relay via a smarthost, and receive locally via fetchmail,
and filled in other paramaters as appropriate.
After that, I did some editing of /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template. I
don't remember exactly what I did, but looking through the file, I see
these lines that look relevant:
remote_smtp_smarthost:
debug_print = T: remote_smtp_smarthost for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
driver = smtp
# hosts_try_auth = ${if exists {CONFDIR/passwd.client}{DCsmarthost}{}}
tls_tempfail_tryclear = false
hosts_require_auth = smtp.gmail.com
hosts_require_tls = smtp.gmail.com
port = 587
I think I commented out the line because GMail requires authentication,
and added hosts_require_auth.
This is only a template used to generate the actual configuration file
if you're using Debian's way of managing the exim configuration, so
after that you have to run:
# update-exim4.conf
I think. Also, you have to put the authentication information in
/etc/exim4/passwd.client. Here are my GMail lines:
smtp.gmail.com:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:password
gmail-smtp.l.google.com:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:password
This took a little digging, because I connected to smtp.gmail.com, and I
don't know exactly what exim did, but I had to run it with some
diagnostics to find out that my authentication was failing because after
using smtp.gmail.com for the address, it thought it was connected to
gmail-smtp.l.google.com. I don't know if it came from a reverse DNS
lookup or what. If you get some pretty mysterious failure, you might
have something like that going on.

exim4 - SMTP-AUTH client - ich versteh nicht was ich falsch mache
Hallo Ihr Lieben, bitte helft mir auf die Sprünge. Die Ausgangssituation ist, dass ich einen anderen Mailserver als Smarthost für Exim eintragen will. Bisher klappte es mit den Standardeinstellungen - aber ich steige auf einen anderen Host um und erhalte damit auch einen anderen Mailserver. Ich habe das Dokument /usr/share/doc/exim4/README.SMTP-AUTH gelesen und es erschien mir alles so schlüssig und klar - aber nichts will funktionieren. Ich habe also in der /etc/exim4/passwd.client die entsprechenden Angaben gemacht und später als sich nichts tat wie im Dokument beschrieben, in der /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template bei login: den tls-send-Eintrag auskommentiert und dafür plain aktiviert. Aber exim versendet trotdem nix. Ich erhalte diese Meldung in der /var/log/exim4/mainlog: [...] 2005-02-15 00:05:46 1D0omp-0003zW-24 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (0): bad base 64 string in challenge: CRAM-MD5 [...] das steht dann bei allen - ich nehme an, er versucht sich jetzt noch eine ganze Weile an diesen Testmails bis er es aufgibt.
