i appreciate your helpful pointers. i don't appreciate exim's
determination to reject all my 'advances'. :( (and that the
documentation keeps bouncing rudely off the back of my eyeballs.
i hope to reach critical mass soon where it all sinks in at
once, but apparently i need several more iterations.)
i've got libpam-pwdfile (how do you know, when pam fails, what
exactly went wrong, by the way?). and exim.config includes
[snippage]
host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1
host_auth_accept_relay = *
[snippety]
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = ${if pam{$2:${sg{$3}{:}{::}}}{yes}{no}}
server_set_id = $2
[snipsnip]
i've found ${sg} (like perl's "s/pat/repl/g") and ${pam} (a bit
scanty on what's going on or where to look when things go south)
in the docs; so the server_condition takes string $3 (the
password) and doubles all colons, and sends "$2:$3-fixed" to
pam, which does (is supposed to do) something magical with
handwaving and hacks up furballs --
when i try emailing via smtp @serensoft.com from outside i get
rejected...

nothing fancy (and nothing sent)
rejectlog says [line break added]
refused relay (host) to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> H=gate (duo.lan) [192.168.0.5]
the server (exim) is 192.168.0.1 (and 208.33.90.85); my
clarkconnect firewall is 192.168.0.5 and 192.168.1.5; duo.lan
(debian workstation) is 192.168.1.2 -- not that it's really
significant. (and gate is the firewall 192.168.*.5)
i even tried, via "exim -bh 192.168.1.2" using AUTH LOGIN
<base64username> <base64password> based on the
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = "${if
crypteq{$2}{${extract{1}{:}{${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim/passwd}{$value}{*:*}}}}}{1}{0}}"
server_set_id = $1
auth section. (both as all-in-one-line and as AUTH LOGIN, dialog,
<base64username>, dialog, <base64password>, reject.) the debug
display shows the strings are accepted and interpreted properly,
but exim rejects everything i've tried.
(and since $1/$2 are used in the condition, i did user\0passwd\0
instead of \0user\0passwd.)
this is almost as much fun as a root canal. very nearly.
