Hi Gregor,

great, much help here for me newbie - thanks! I am so confused that
information goes probably wrong. I have uncommented the client-side
authentication 'plain' and 'login' in exim4.conf.template and run update.

smtp.alice-dsl.net is just an alias for out.alice-dsl.de is, which I have
found out running the 'host' command. But how can I get authentication
work? (I swear I write a tutorial for alice!)

This line is there and identical with passwd.client too.

Grmpf!
