Configuring Exim on Cygwin for ISP SMTP authentication

Hi

I'm quite new to Exim & Cygwin.

But I could successfully download & install Exim on Cygwin with my Windows XP SP2.

I'm trying to configure exim (4.69) to send mail thru my service provider(SMTP). But my service provider requires a user/password for SMTP authentication & i'm unable to configure this. varlogeximexim_main.log shows the following error

2009-08-26 10:59:33 KOYXX3-00023K-P0 ** user [at] domain R=send_to_gateway T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM: SIZE=3241: host remote_mail_server [xx.xx.xx.xx]: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated

My windows XP system is on a local domain (domainA.com) & my service provider is on a remote domain (domainB.com). I just need to transfer all the mails from exim over to the remote domain.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Vaidy

You need to configure authentication for your smtp transport which may
require a recompile of your Exim binary. See here for details:
