Hi All, I have a problem. I have a Debian Woody mail server (POP3 - qpopper and SMTP - exim 3.?) which is hosting all the e-mail for 3 domains. Now the problem is I have remote users who would like to send e-mail as one of the hosted domains, i.e., not on the local subnets. Enter SMTP AUTH.
To get things working I have put in a LOGIN and PLAIN authentication method with a fixed username/password. I'll switch to using the system usernames/passwords later on a per-user basis. I've tested authentication as per the Exim documentation: '\0username\0password' to base64, then tested using both "exim -bh 1.2.3.4" and "telnet 127.0.0.1 25" - each time authentication succeeds and relay is possible :-) Enter Outlook & Outlook Express (boo hiss - crowd throws beer cans and sticks onto the field). It just sits there endlessly asking for a username/password. I have the correct(??) "Username:: : Password::" as the string that is sent but no joy. What have I missed?
