[Pkg-exim4-users] 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 : 2008-08-02 22:19:32 1KPNZc-0004R7-HP ** jacques.lavignotte at gmail.com R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<jacques.lavignotte at gmail.com>: host smtp-msa.orange.fr [193.252.22 .72]: 554 <jacques.lavignotte at gmail.com>: Recipient address rejected: Missing Authentication Any clue ?

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. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
