mail program (exim) (or should i use postfix)


Hi,

I am currently using EXIM with mandrake 10.0 and would like to make it so the only way you can send mail using my exim sever is with a username and password. I don't want to use mysql, i just want ONE username and One password, using PLain authentication.

I will be using openwebmail which is why it has to be plain authentication. Could someone tell me how to set it up.. I currently have it set up like this but it is not working.


Would it be

any help or suggestions would be appreciated
in the authentication

fixed_plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_prompts = :
server_condition = \
${if and {{eq{$2}{username}}{eq{$3}{[password}}}{yes}{no}}
server_set_id = $2

Do I have to put anything else in other then this in the authentication?

Would it be easier to DENY connections from every host except localhost and how would you do that?
