>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. Try telnetting to the SMTP port, when a response comes back type EHLO then hit enter, you should get something lke this (I expect only PLAIN and LOGIN to appear) if it fails this test then you need to test your exim configuration some more.
