I just configured exim to use ssl and authenticate users. If I understood you correctly, you want to use Exim to authenticate itself with another smtp server over ssl. There is documentation on the exim site itself. http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.30/doc/html/spec.html If so, check out the end bit of /etc/exim/exim.conf ---- # These examples below are the equivalent for client side authentication. # They assume that you only use client side authentication to connect to # one host (such as a smarthost at your ISP), or else use the same user # name and password everywhere # plain: # driver = plaintext # public_name = PLAIN # client_send = "^username^password" # # login: # driver = plaintext # public_name = LOGIN # client_send = ": username : password" # # cram_md5: # driver = cram_md5 # public_name = CRAM-MD5 # client_name = username # client_secret = password --- Define how you want your client to authenticate here. > p.s. please CC: as I am not subscribed to this list There is a header that you can set for this (X-Mail-Followup, I think) HTH, Shri -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shri Shrikumar U R Byte Solutions I.T.
