Just had the same problem exactly and added the fix above.
Let's see if this will be fine for all existing users.

Everything seems fine with the fix applied.
 
I am running into this issue for a long time. Still running into this issue
Code: 
2014-04-24 14:17:17 plain authenticator failed for ([192.168.2.32]) [x.x.x.x]: 535 Incorrect authentication data ([email protected])

My exim.pl (version 13) doesn't have the code that I can comment out to fix this problem:
Code: 
...
sub smtpauth
{
        $username       = Exim::expand_string('$1');
        $password       = Exim::expand_string('$2');
        $extra          = Exim::expand_string('$3');
        $domain         = "";
        $unixuser       = 1;


        #check for netscape that offsets the login/pass by one
        if ($username eq "" && length($extra) > 0)
        {
                $username = $password;
                $password = $extra;
        }


        if ($username =~ /\@/)
        {
...
 
Version 16 is available, should have the fix.
Code: 
wget -O /etc/exim.pl http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.pl
/etc/init.d/exim restart

Can this file simply be copied over exim.pl version 15? And does this apply to issues around plain authentication with IMAP ass well?

Kind regards,

There is now an exim.pl version 17, which is now required with SpamBlocker 4.2.3, but it's not yet an automated install. It should also work with exim.conf 2.2.

You can get it from the exim files server. http://files.directadmin.com/services and mirrors.

I installed SB 4.2.3 and Exim.pl 18 all seems to be working fine, but how can I tell if SB is really working? I can see spam assassin in the headers...

You should see lots of entries in the /var/log/exim/rejectlog file.

Thanks Jeff! I do see a lot of rejects so I guess it is working... Can you also tell me how I know that the 535 auth error is fixed for mac clients? I used the exim.pl version 18 which is supposed to have fixed it...
 
Any more lists I can add to the spam blocker? I am still getting close to 100 spam emails a day getting through on just one email account, so I can imagine my clients are getting a bunch as well...

Thanks!

I'm not sure. did 535 Auth errors show up in the log previously? If so, and if they don't now, then you can presume it's fixed :).

You can add any you want, but you're on your own in choosing which ones to trust and will work for yu and your clients; some are too quick on the trigger to use on a shared hosting server.

Is this fix going to become officially part of the DA release soon?

I have users with the same problem.
 
According to this post http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=48234&p=250179#post250179 the fix was already released in exim.pl 16 version.

run this

Code: 
head /etc/exim.pl

to see what version you use there.

And run this:
Code: 
wget -O /etc/exim.pl http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.pl.16
/etc/init.d/exim restart

to install exim.pl 16 version.

Or run this:
Code: 
wget -O /etc/exim.pl http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.pl.17
/etc/init.d/exim restart

to install exim.pl 17 version.

If you use CustomBuild 2.x you can update exim.conf/exim.pl with build script:

Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/
./build update
./build set exim yes
./build set eximconf yes
./build exim
./build exim_conf
