Exim 4 SMTP Auth

Well, I configured Exim 3: http://db.cs.helsinki.fi/~hendry/log/pyblosxom.cgi/email/sslsmtp.html First the output:

$ screen tail -f /var/log/exim4/mainlog

Go off and carefull read:

vim /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.SMTP-AUTH

If you get syntax errors, there is most likely something wrong with:

vim /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf

dc_eximconfig_configtype='satellite'

dc_other_hostnames=''

dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'

dc_readhost='cs.helsinki.fi'

dc_relay_domains=''

dc_minimaldns='false'

dc_relay_nets=''

dc_smarthost='mail.cs.helsinki.fi'

dc_never_users='# never_users = root'

CFILEMODE='644'

Here is what mine’s looks like. I had readhost incorrectly set a made up domain.
