Hi,
I recently installed prestaShop and set E-mail settings to use SMTP instead of PHPmail, the SMTP settings are correct (like in MUAs), e-mails are sending/arriving OK to clients but suddenly I noticed getting that error in exim's log everytime the shop sends an e-mail.

Code:
 plain authenticator failed for h1881165679.rev.rootvps.pl (mail.xxx.tld) [188.116.56.79]: 535 Incorrect authentication data ([email protected])
domain/mail obfuscated

So, that error occurs but e-mail is delivered OK.

When I change SMTP encryption settings from 'none' to eg. 'TLS' in prestaShop (as I'm using in MUAs like Thunderbird with NO error) here there is an error
Code:
 SMTP protocol synchronization error (input sent without waiting for greeting): rejected connection from H=h1881165679.rev.rootvps.pl [188.116.56.79] input="\026\003\001"

And of course no mail is sended.

In that case doing
Code:
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect 188.116.56.79:587

CONNECTED(00000004)

250 HELP



When I use eg. Thunderbird as the same outgoing server settings there is NO such error and mails are delivering NP. This is only script that sends emails using SMTP so I don't know if it's a DA specific case or prestaShop - if don't - please feel free to delete this thread.

I'm using SpamBlocker4.1
Code:
plain:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = PLAIN
    server_prompts = :
    server_condition = "${perl{smtpauth}}"
    server_set_id = $2

As for now I stuck with SMTP Encryption 'None' mails sending but full of errors in logs.

Thanks in advance for any clue.
