In which case, the server_xxx options are redundant. That's fortunate, because they are not correct for PLAIN authentication in a server. For PLAIN authentication you need to use $auth2 and $auth3 (or $2 and $3) for the user name and password. See the example here: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch34.html#SECID172 For LOGIN it's 1 and 2. Don't blame me - I didn't design these mechanisms. :-) Also, you have "{$value }" rather than "{$value}" in your password check. Notice the space - it will be included in the test, and so the password probably won't match. But if this is indeed just a client, I'd get rid of all those server_xxx options, which are just confusing. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
