How does one configure Exim (Woody) to work with smarthost using AUTH
PLAIN? Is the pwd/log supposed to be entered in the exim.cnf file?
I've tried what has been suggested in the archives, but it ain't
working.


I'm using the following lines at the end of my /etc/exim/exim.conf to
authenticate to my smarthost.  I never tested if I need both plain and
login but it works for me.

#v+
plain:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = PLAIN
  client_send = "^user^passwd"

login:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = LOGIN
  client_send = ": user : passwd"
#v-


Thanks, I have that setup the same.

Quick question, how does the l/p info get entered? Is my client, in this case
mutt, supposed to supply the l/p? I did have Exim set up a couple of years ago
to work with SSMTP, (of course I didn't keep my notes), however I don't think
mutt was sending l/p.
