Hi,
I am actually a EXIM user; Iīd like to route my mail via a smart host - he
uses qmail. This is where this mailing list comes into sight. :)
My uplink wants me to use SMTP authentification, which my mailer supports.
Actually, it will still not try to authentificate. I suppose that the
following is not a configuration problem, but a qmail bug:
[SMTP-Session]
EXIM>: EHLO gregory.lang.euro
qmail<: 250-charente.de
250-AUTH=LOGIN
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
Actually, my mailer does not like the "AUTH=LOGIN" tag. I (and Phil Hazel
from Univ. of Cambridge, author) think that it should be "AUTH LOGIN"
instead. The "="-character is IMHO not allowed here (see RFC 2554 and RFC
1869).This might be some kind of philosophical question, I suppose. But it
actually causes problems.
What do you think? Is this a bug or some kind of feature? ;)
Please reply cc to my email-adress as I am not on the list.
