I have did some thing and it seemed to work. For the public server that i use just support PLAINTEXT auth, so I add an option "AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = 1" in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template. After update-exim4.conf and restart the exim4 server, I can user exim4 to send mail correctly. > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
