[Pkg-exim4-users] authenticator failure

[dan biles]

Hi,

well I finally got my mail to be accepted, but it’s going unauthenticated since my authenticator fails.  not sure why, can anyone look at my authenticator code and tell me?

—————————————
begin authenticators

comcast_login:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = LOGIN
.ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS
  # Return empty string if not non-TLS AND looking up $host in passwd-file
  # yields a non-empty string; fail otherwise.
  client_send = "<; ${if and{\
                          {!eq{$tls_out_cipher}{}}\
                          {!eq{PASSWDLINE}{}}\
                         }\
                      {}fail}\
                 ; ${extract{1}{::}{PASSWDLINE}}\
		 ; ${sg{PASSWDLINE}{\\N([^:]+:)(.*)\\N}{\\$2}}"
.else
  # Return empty string if looking up $host in passwd-file yields a
  # non-empty string; fail otherwise.
  client_send = "<; ${if !eq{PASSWDLINE}{}\
                      {}fail}\
                 ; ${extract{1}{::}{PASSWDLINE}}\
		 ; ${sg{PASSWDLINE}{\\N([^:]+:)(.*)\\N}{\\$2}}"
.endif

and my passwd.client is of the form smtp.comcast.net:username:password, and both of those creds check out with swak on smtp.comcast.net

any advice MUCH appreciated!
