[Pkg-exim4-users] smtp client authentication

[Gary Dale]

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I'm trying to set up exim4 on a Debian Sarge system to send e-mail to my 
ISP using my normal credentials. So far everything I've tried still 
results in the exim log showing a 530 error when connecting. I'm trying 
to connect to a Rogers server, so my passwd.client line is:

smtp.broadband.rogers.com:garydale at rogers.com:mypassword

This is the same authentication information I had to provide to 
Thunderbird. Just doing that didn't work, so I also modified 
conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples by uncommenting the scripts at the 
end that seem to allow smtp client authentication.

Again this didn't work.

Reading the comments, I tried setting AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS 
but that results in an "authenticator name missing" error when I restart 
exim4.

This is the same machine that I use Thunderbird  on, so the mail can get 
through.  However, I need to send some mail from a script, I need to get 
mail or mutt to handle it. From my reading, it looks like they both need 
an MTA to handle the sending.

Any hints on how to get exim4 to do the connection?
