Maybe, but after setting up passwd.client and modifying the config file
to send username & password, I'm still not getting anywhere. The exim
log shows a 530 error connecting to the smtp server.

I'm trying to connect to a rogers server, so my passwd.client line is:

smtp.broadband.rogers.com:garydale@rogers.com:mypa ssword

THis is the same authentication information I had to provide to
Thunderbird.

I also modified conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples by uncommenting the
scripts that allow smtp authentication.

Still no luck.
