Hi,
I have some problem in Dovecot authorization in Exim for outgoing SMTP.
Version of Exim is 4.69 and the Exim was compiled with "AUTH_DOVECOT=yes" and "AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes". Version of Dovecot is 1.2.12.
I use SSL for IMAP. Is Exim neccesary to use SSL(TLS) for authorization of outgoing SMTP?
I guess NO because communication is via socket.
My exim-4.72 configuration (which doesn't use LOGIN) contains:
| plain: | driver = dovecot | public_name = PLAIN | server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client | server_set_id = $auth1
And the dovecot-1.2.12 configuration contains:
| auth default {
| mechanisms = plain login
|
| passdb pam {
| args = dovecot
| }
|
| socket listen {
| client {
| # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use
| # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups
| # using it.
| path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
| mode = 0666
| }
| }
| }
Hope it helps. YMMV.
