Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.50-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Many free SMTP servers require authentication (which is IMHO
very good thing), but do not provide encrypted connection (which
is not that good, but what could I do?). Exim4 provides for this
purpose configuration macro AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS
(which is not documented at all), but it is not used in
transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost, which breaks
the delivery. Please, consider applying the attached patch (or
creating a better solution).

Thanks,

    Matej
