[Pkg-exim4-users] exim4 with smtp authentication

[exim4 at wlassak.net]

Thank you for your hints. Of course, my smtp-server is _not_ connected to the
internet.

I had read the specs, too, but did it again more carefully. In there i think i
found now what i searched for. I agree the first time of reading specs was more
a run through than reading it.

Now i try again, to configure my server correctly.
Next scene: exim, n+1 st

Thank you for help.

Regards
Christoph
