Well, the stock Exim.conf file does not contain this option on my woody 
box.  Therefore the question is whether the standard exim package was 
compiled with authentication enabled.  I don't know, but it seems the 
answer is no.  I am speaking of the plain Exim package here.

This is the question.  I have not gone an added the advertize option 
manually and I guess I need to try it, but the fact it is not in the 
conf file suggests support was not compiled in and therefore it doesn't 
matter what you put in the conf file, it will not authenticate.

All I get is SIZE, PIPELINING, and HELP.  

In what section does the advertize authen option go...in the last 
section with the authn options I assume?
