Telnet your smtp host, issue the EHLO command and note the response. $ telnet your.mail.host 25 EHLO What you are interested in is AUTH LOGIN PLAIN AUTH LOGIN=PLAIN In /etc/exim/exim.conf in the transports section under smtp_remote you want to set authenticate_hosts to your.smarthost. I missed this. In the last section of exim.conf you want to uncomment the _client_ options for smtp auth email. LOGIN PLAIN equates to exim's plain. LOGIN=PLAIN equates to exim's login. You only need the option you are using. /var/log/exim/main.log will show each type of authorization that fails. Replace the username and password with your [EMAIL PROTECTED] and clear_text_password. Verizon assigns "email ids" which are what are you use to login. The "aliases" that you may make up, are not for login or authorization. -- rir Live the dream. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
