Package: exim4
Severity: important
Version: 4.44-2
The Outlook Express 4.xx doesn't work with standard SMTP AUTH. This is because
it expects "AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN" string after EHLO. This is bug for OE4 but it
isn't easy to replace our customers' applications. Much simpler way it to
implement the workaround on the mail server.
The patch was rejected by the author of the upstream. It is about philosophy
and anti-Microsoft ideology. I hope the Debian project is more pragmatic and
allow to apply this patch to the official package.
This hack exists for Postfix (official and documented) and qmail (as
additional patch, AFAIK).
The patch adds the auth_hack_outlook4 option which is disabled by default.
With enabled auth_hack_outlook4 option:
# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
