Thanks Vlad, the last three lines (ifnedef - endif) can be IMHO deleted, because DIGEST-MD5 (and CRAM-MD5 and NTLM) do not send plaintext passwords, so should be allowed even on otherwise unencrypted connection. commented out. Check if user Debian-exim is member of sasl group - to get access

Looking at this: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-smtp_authentication.html maybe I should be specifying a client_ parameter for SMTP auth? Too many changes - tired and need sleep. Hopefully I'll have something clearer in the morning. *Paul O'Rorke* Tracker Softwar

Hi again guys, thanks for the help thus far. I have managed to get cyrus talking with exim to deliver mail (the -a inside the quotes did this) and I have the cyrus_sasl driver authenticating using DIGEST-MD5: digest_md5_sasl_server: driver = cyrus_sasl public_name = DIGEST-M

Vlad and Andrew, thanks so much for the tip on the "lmtpd -a" - that certainly did allow mail to flow to the expected mailbox. Thanks so much. I'm definitely making progress thanks to the help here. I'm stuck getting sasl authentication though. As I understand it cyrus_sasl uses it's own (
