I am trying to get Postfix (2.3) to relay mail via an upstream server running exim 4.60. The exim server requires SMTP AUTH and in response to EHLO advertises that it supports both AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN. However, it is broken. AUTH PLAIN doesn't work, only AUTH LOGIN works. I have verified this both by setting up kmail to send via the exim host and by logging in by hand using telnet. In both cases, the exim server refuses to accept the username and password sent via AUTH PLAIN, but happily accepts the same username and password with AUTH LOGIN. However I do not seem to be able to tell postfix to use AUTH LOGIN. I have "mech_list: LOGIN" in smtpd.conf but the log files reveal that it is still using AUTH PLAIN. How do I force postfix to use AUTH LOGIN when it seems determined to ignore my smtpd.conf? -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons - - Pigeon's Nest: http://pigeonsnest.co.uk/ GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
