Trying to get Exim4 to send email to my ISP mail server (smtp.frontiernet.net) after those dipshits @ Yahoo (who frontier outsourced their email accounts to) changed something requiring SSL/TLS, I carefully followed your instructions from “SMTP Authentication” to the end. When I executed the step “sudo update-exim4.conf” I received the following error:
2022-07-14 15:27:26 Exim configuration error:
there are two authenticators called “cram_md5”
Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp, not installing
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
Examination of the config.autogenerated.tmp file shows that everything from “cram_md5:” to the end of the file (sections cram_md5:, plain:, and login:) have been duplicated exactly.
Any ideas?
