Hi,
I just set up SMTP authentication for my Exim4 client. However, the logs
are a little bit noisy. Any suggestions how to reduce these errors?
Presumably it tries the plain and login authentication first, before
trying TLS.
Faheem.

Do I need to do additional configuration besides adding an entry in /etc/exim4/passwd.client?

Seems to be working now. Faheem.
