Hello everyone, I configured exim4 using the split/internet configuration. I configured rely to networks to allow a couple of servers with static IP to send emails. This works fine, my problem is that when I configure outlook in one of my client PCs, I get the "rely not allowed" message. I am using the default authenticators, I figure that if I create an entry in the passwd.client file this has to work but it doesn''t. The entry in the passwd.client is something like this: "*:myusername:mypassword" Any idea what I am doing wrong?? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am no expert but what is the output from exim4 -d+auth -bt localuser@yourdomain.com It might help you see what is going wrong. Dp.

The entry in the passwd.client is something like > this: "*:myusername:mypassword"> Any idea what I am doing wrong??passwd.client is used when exim is acting as client, i.e. when exim takes a messages and passes it on to another server that requires exim to show some authentication. You OTOH want exim to request authentication from clients connecting to it. You''ll need to enable at least one authenticator in exim''s configuration file (plain_server, as Outlook afaik does not support CRAM-MD5), possily enable TLS/SSL and fill /etc/exim4/passwd. cu andreas -- The ''Galactic Cleaning'' policy undertaken by Emperor Zhark is a personal vision of the emperor''s, and its inclusion in this work does not constitute tacit approval by the author or the publisher for any such projects, howsoever undertaken.
