exim4 SMTP client authentication: help!
 

Hi

Sarge is giving me grief setting up the exim4 configuration to perform client authentication to my SMTP smarthost. I did read README.SMTP_AUTH and modified passwd.client as such:

mydomain.net:peff:mypassword

Still no luck sending outside the smarthost. I can send locally to myself and other colleagues within the same domain. Receiving via fetchmail is rock-solid.

I read the online exim docs. I googled and searched forums but many posts refer to setting up relaying and/or SMTP server, which I do not need and adds to the confusion. Maddening, since this should be relatively simple.

thanks for any suggestions,

Peff

exim is a mail transfert agent , it follow sendmail design model : a binary control facilities of mta. But exim do not have a queue manager,
exim4 installation is now based around defconf


Hitler's follower.
Install exim4-base, ecim4-config, exim4-daemon-lighr
dkpg-reconfigure exim4-config
With a static IP: direct SMPT connection to remote sites without using smarthost.
