how to setup smtp autentification

[karen20dec4]

Hello world,

how to setup smtp autentification for sending emails. ?

Right now my smtp server is not require login autentification for sending emails ,
how do i setup from directadmin so my smtp server will request autentification (user / pass ) for sending emails.

i use DirectAdmin on debian , kernel 2.6.26-2-686

its setup that way by default. you must not have a directadmin exim.conf and exim.pl

@karen20dec4:

Possibly it appears to you that your installation isn't requiring authentication because by default it automatically authenticates anyone who successfully receives email from the server. That's implemented in exim.conf, and can be removed, but since any recipient can use his/her credentials to send to authenticate there's no real benefit in so doing.
