It would be nice if I could have the system check the /etc/exim4/passwd file and if the user wasn't there then check the /etc/passwd file - and ignore NTLM as it would normally.
Well, it might be nice, but I can see its clearly implausible, having read through the config file and some of the referenced documentation.
So - the fact I'm about to change the user and password databases is an issue I'll have to put before management just before I do it.
The piece of the jigsaw I'm missing is how to actually provide SPA authentication. Is it as simple as using something like :-
auth = ntlm auth_mechanisms = ntlm auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/exim4/passwd auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/exim4/passwd
Any guidance appreciated.
