[Dovecot] exim4 dovecot sasl problem

[Tristan Rex Santiago]

what flag do i need to set in recompiling exim4 to enable dovecot-sasl support? i tried --enable-dovecot-sasl but exim4 still reported dovecot driver error.

many thanks

hi!

i'm trying to do smtp authentication using dovecot and exim4 by following this guide http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/ EximAndDovecotSASL.


for the exim4 part, i got an

authenticator dovecot: cannot find authenticator driver "dovecot"
 error after i entered the codes in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template and reloaded exim4 with the update-exim4.conf command.

i'm running debian lenny.

here's the authentication section of exim4.conf.template:

 begin authenticators

cram_md5:

  driver = cram_md5

  public_name = CRAM-MD5


  client_name = ${extract{1}{:}{${lookup{$
host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/ passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}
  client_secret = ${extract{2}{:}{${lookup{$ host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/ passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}

PASSWDLINE=${sg{\

                ${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{ CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value} fail}\
            }\
