When I was using exim 3.36, the following was what I used in exim.conf
on my home computer to allow multiple users to connect to a Verizon
SMTP server:
######################################################################
# REWRITE CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
# This rewriting rule is particularly useful for dialup users who
# don't have their own domain, but could be useful for anyone.
# It looks up the real address of all local users in a file
*@alph.home.l ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} frFs
end
######################################################################
# AUTHENTICATION CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
# Setup for client side authentication to one host for multiple users,
# each with a separate password: To make the lookup function work
# set up a file, /etc/exim/smtp-passwd, of uid's, usernames and passwords.
# /etc/exim/smtp-passwd is owned by mail.mail so that passwords are not
# stored in a world readable file. The format of the file is:
#
# uid1: ^username1^password1
# uid2: ^username2^password2
# etc.
#
# where usernameX and passwordX are the login name and password on the
# Verizon SMTP server, and uidX is the user's uid on the local computer.
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = "${lookup{$originator_uid}lsearch{/etc/exim/smtp-passwd}{$value}}"
[end of exim.conf]
In the rewrite section, you will need to change "alph.home.l" to what
you set as your qualify_domain earlier in exim.conf.
