You probably also want to be using STARTTLS to encrypt the connection, otherwise your password is sent in plaintext. Under debian you need to make sure you have the exim-tls package installed.
+
+For exim4 on Debian 3.1:
+Some smarthosts don't support encrypted login's so you have to enable plaintext logins. Create a file /etc/exim4/passwd.client containing the following:
+
+### CONFDIR/passwd.client
+#
+# Format:
+#targetmailserver.example:login:password
+#
+# default entry:
+### *:bar:foo
+yourmailserver:yourlogin:yourpassword
+
+then add the line following 2 lines somewhere near the top of exim4.conf.template
+#allow plain text smtp login
+AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS=1
+
+Update the configuration files by running
+
+update-exim4.conf
+
+Your server will now login to the smarthost using plaintext username and password as specified in the passwd.client file
!!Server Prompts
Some clients respond poorly to server prompts that don't match what they consider "correct". This problem will manifest itself by some clients being able to auth, and others not. to be safe, set
