This brief guide will explain the steps you can take to get basic SMTP AUTH working with Debian exim4 package. (For users connecting to your server, not for forwarding via your ISP)<\/p>\n
First of all generate an Exim SSL certificate:<\/p>\n
# \/usr\/share\/doc\/exim4-base\/examples\/exim-gencert<\/p>\n
Now edit \/etc\/exim4\/exim4.conf.template using your favourite text editor.<\/p>\n
Uncomment (don’t copy and paste from here because my copy from file cut out end of lines) the following lines:<\/p>\n
# plain_server:
\n# driver = plaintext
\n# public_name = PLAIN
\n# server_condition = “${if crypteq{$3}{${extract{1{:}{${lookup{$2}lsearch{CON$
\n# server_set_id = $2
\n# server_prompts = :
\n# .ifndef AUTH_SERVER_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS
\n# server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{}{*}}
\n# .endif<\/p>\n
Once that has been done create (or edit if it exists) \/etc\/exim4\/exim4.conf.localmacros<\/p>\n
Add the line:<\/p>\n
MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = true<\/p>\n
You need to add users with:
\n# adduser username<\/p>\n
In order to create file \/var\/mail\/username you need to send email to new user<\/p>\n
# mail username@yourdomain.com[enter]
\nsome text[enter]
\n.[enter]<\/p>\n
To actually setup the users and passwords for outgoing SMTP create \/etc\/exim4\/passwd<\/p>\n
Copy output from:<\/p>\n
htpasswd -nd usernameforsmtp<\/p>\n
And paste it in \/etc\/exim4\/passwd<\/p>\n
Repeat for any other logins you’d like to add.<\/p>\n
Now you’re done. Update your configuration and Restart Exim4:<\/p>\n
# update-exim4.conf
\n# \/etc\/init.d\/exim4 restart<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
