dovecot - Jun 2010 - Can't establish Dovecot authorization in Exim.

Hi,

I have some problem in Dovecot authorization in Exim for 
outgoing SMTP.

Version of Exim is 4.69 and the Exim was compiled 
with "AUTH_DOVECOT=yes" and "AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes".
Version of Dovecot 
is 1.2.12.

I use SSL for IMAP.  Is Exim neccesary to use SSL(TLS)
 for authorization of outgoing SMTP?

Configuration files is as 
follows;

- Exim
----------------------------------------------------------
dovecot_login:
 
 driver = dovecot
  public_name = LOGIN
  server_socket = 
/var/run/dovecot/auth-client
  server_set_id = $auth1

dovecot_plain:
 
 driver = dovecot
  public_name = PLAIN
  server_socket = 
/var/run/dovecot/auth-client
  server_set_id = $auth2

----------------------------------------------------------


- Dovecot
----------------------------------------------------------


auth default {
  mechanisms = plain login

  passdb pam {
   
 args = cache_key=%u dovecot
  }

  userdb passwd {
  }

 
 socket listen {
    #master {
    #}
    client {
      
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
      mode = 0666
    }
  }
}
----------------------------------------------------------



Do I have to set other than that, like TLS for Exim?

Thanks 
in advance.

I have also $auth1 in dovecot_plain:

dovecot_plain:
driver = dovecot
public_name = PLAIN
server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
server_set_id = $auth1


I have debian with exim4-daemon-heavy and nothing ordinary.

I guess NO because communication is via socket.

My exim-4.72 configuration (which doesn't use LOGIN) contains:

| plain:
|   driver = dovecot
|   public_name = PLAIN
|   server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
|   server_set_id = $auth1


And the dovecot-1.2.12 configuration contains:

| auth default {
|   mechanisms = plain login
| 
|   passdb pam {    
|          args = dovecot
|   }
| 
|   socket listen {
|     client {
|       # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use
|       # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups
|       # using it.
|       path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
|       mode = 0666
|     }
|   }
| }


Hope it helps. YMMV.
