Is there anyway i can check if my smtp auth is working? I have enabled TLS with certificates and i have unhashed, plain_server: I have also used htpasswd -nd username and put the output into /etc/exim4/passwd I have also set: MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = true But when I try and send an email from a client (MS Outlook) it goes straight through and I didn''t need to specify that the smtp servers requires authentication? thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It has a number of options to simulate TLS. So you could run SWAKS on a different computer, set up different options, have SWAKS conect to your server, and then watch the logs on your MTA. If need be, put exim into Debug mode with something like exim4 -bd -d+all 2>&1 | tee swaks.log Hope that helps. mark
> I have also used htpasswd -nd username and put the output into > /etc/exim4/passwdI suggest you remove your current /etc/exim4/passwd file and then use the provided exim-adduser command. You''ll find it in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples Regards Neil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scanned for viruses, spam and offensive content by CensorNet MailSafe Professional Web & E-mail Filtering from www.censornet.com
