Pkg exim4 users - Aug 2008 - Trouble with Exim 4.60 as SMTP-AUTH client on Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS

Hello,

I succesfully installed Exim-4 4.69 with SMTP-AUTH client working fine 
on Ubuntu Hardy and Exim-4 4.63 on Debian Etch. Great !

Then I am trying to do the same with Exim 4.60 on Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS
and SMTP-AUTH client with the same parameters as before and 
authentification fails. (Sending mail with NO authentification works fine)

I suspect a small difference I cant find on configuration files between 
4.60 and 4.63.

I set password.client according to my ISP parameters, I create 
exim4.conf.localmacros and set  AUTH_SERVER_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = 1
an restart exim. No way :

R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP

TO:<jacques.lavignotte at gmail.com>: host smtp-msa.orange.fr [193.252.22

Missing Authentication


Any clue ?

Regards, TIA           Jacques

Hello,
AUTH_SERVER_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS makes exim *accept* plaintext
authentication (AUTH PLAIn or AUTH LOGIN) from client programs. Afaict
you want exim to act as client, your smarthost asks for a password and
exim should *provide* it. The respective macro for that is
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS.

I was confused writing this...

This is what is set in exim4.conf.localmacros


The reason must be elsewhere...
