- From your headers it looks like you are using exim-3.36. While I am sure
there is a way to do authenticated smtp with that version i have only
had it work with exim4. There are debian packages for exim4 in testing
and unstable. Using exim4 there is a file called
/etc/exim4/passwd.client where you just put the name of your smarthost
and your username/password to log in. If you don't want to update your
whole system to testing or unstable there are backports of exim4 for
woody if you look on www.apt-get.org.
