Pkg exim4 users - Sep 2006 - Fwd: Howto forward messages via my ISP?]

-------- Original Message --------

Your ISP should forward _all_ messages after a client has
authenticated. If they don''t, you cannot use .forward.

I''d take this up with their support staff.

Thanks Marc

Some months ago we received a message from our ISP asking us to enable
SMTP authentication followed by  list of instructions for Microsoft
Outlook users...........   ;-)

I set up the passwd.client file and life carried on. I think I can
still send messages from our domain *without* authentication so I am
going to reread the passwd.client info and also telnet port 25 and
check that we are really authenticating.

Thanks again

Andy

Be aware that you need to instruct your exim to allow authentication
over unencrypted connections if your ISP does not support encryption.

This is a common error.
