I noticed that webmail (SquirrelMail) was showing the following error when sending email:
-----------
Unknown response
435 Unable to authenticate at present
------------
Then I checked exim_mainlog which showed:
--------
2010-03-08 06:09:33 fixed_login authenticator failed for localhost.localdomain (www.mydomain.com) [127.0.0.1]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present ([email protected]): syntax error in Exim::expand_string argument: failed to open /home/mydomain/etc/mydomain.com/shadow for linear search: No such file or directory at /etc/exim.pl.local line 585.
--------
It looks like the shadow file is missing. How can I generate it and is there anything else to be done?
