For me, this seems to be either a exim4 bug or a configuration issue. It would be nice to find out what exactly is causing this. I discussed this with exim4 maintainers before this because I originally thought the whole authentication problem was a bug in exim. Kmail sends the mail to localhost and exim4 takes over from there. The only hint that this is a "reply" might be "Re:" in the subject (or is there something in the headers as well?). So why should replies fail on auth when the same id and password are being sent with any transmission? Would kmail for some strange reason send replies through a different transport? I have the localhost, sendmail (symlink to exim4) and the provider smtp account. Localhost is the default. A send direct to the provider will fail because kmail is not doing authorization. I have been using exactly the same setup for more than 6 months now without problem. When I started using this, I had kmail 1.10.0 and the version of exim4 that is shiped with debian lenny (or maybe slightly older). Now I am using kmail 1.11.0 and still no problems. So we have a confirmation that this works now |
