Encrypted Passwords for Exim

[SimonErich]

Hi guys,

I'm just working on the mailserver and already enabled ssl for exim and dovecot.
The only thing I'm still fighting with is exim to accept encrypted passwords.

Dovecot works with them already, but I cannot find information on how to enable them in exim.

I followed this thread and did the dovecot thing (which worked) - thank you google translate:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3811&p=6036&hilit=md5#p6036

But the exim configuration doesn't work and I always get the error:

Code: Select all

Exim configuration error in line 164 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp:
  option "dovecot_md5" unknown
Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp, not installing 
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated

How can I enable encrypted passwords in exim?
Or is this not necessary when using ssl?

thank you in advance

best regards
Simon
