Hello
I have just spent a happy day (!) configuring Exim4 to accept authenticated connections from full blown Outlook clients. That works.
Unfortunately, by ticking the "Use SPA" box in Outlook it now demands SPA on the POP3 server as well.
The existing POP3 server doesn't support this style of authentication.
I believe Dovecot will. We're already using it as an IMAP server. What
I'm worried about is diverting its current view from /etc/passwd.
I have an /etc/exim4/passwd file which contains three fields for the users tested so far, their name, an encrypted password, and a clear text one.
Timo has already told me that the system needs access to the cleartext
password (or an NTLM style password) in order to work.
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.
Regards Neil
